Broadly Narrow Way

by Von Doba

/

about

Notes: I had a desire and vision to compose something in more or less pure orchestral-chest styling, with a B-way style flamboyance; however I found the foundational might and crispness of the electric bass proved indispensable for the track. Also just canna forego a bit o' geetar here and there you know. Seek the broadly narrow way. As for the lyrics, the public must judge whether they succeed or not in conveying the song's overall aims.

lyrics

BROADLY NARROW WAY
And from the beginning, we owe it to ourselves,
to speak resolutely, loudly and clearly, on those things
we hold to be indubitable, and above all insuperable,
to both reason and logic

Rancid prevarications tantamount to a highly
volatile and impure prolixity—
Leering varlets reeling off sandpaper grade
insinuations shame the nation and quake the very bones and roots of justice
Quail they did, and quail you may, before the
fullness of your time eventuates
Substantial levies break the backs and the banks of the honest commerce merchant man
Who aforetime dreamed never in his wildest
fantasias that he might and we might come to this
Slouching towards Gomorrah they ran blind
into the funnel of seeming fun which led in the
course of things towards a quicksand
black hole which devours all

Will you wander that broadly narrow way
Will you wander that broadly narrow way
Journey with me on this broadly narrow way
