about

A menacing evocation of the negative conflicts in Blake’s life. The accusations of sedition levelled against him, and his anger at the progressive dominance of the mechanical and 'reason' over Art and the Imagination… His own determination and his exhortation to Humanity to resist the forces – within and without - that seek to hold back or imprison the divine Human Spirit. Social mores, organised religion, standards and rules for Art set by others…

lyrics

Papers in Order
In your Dead Hand
Each day’s a sequence
Nobody planned
The only way is
Say ‘Non Serviam!’
Your first refusal
Weak, pressed and damned

Rise up and break the
Rule of Reason

Mad mathematic
Fatal Ratio
Painting by Numbers
Ranged row by row
Now take your colours
Where no-one goes
Joyful Expulsion
Strike the first Blows

For Freedom from the
School of Reason

Bind your writing’s metred verse
Crawl behind your Leader’s hearse
Horrid hooks and nets he formed
Binding to Urizen’s norm

The Human Condition
Is to embrace Sedition!

Curbing the Beauty
Of our Desires
Release the Passion
From Custom’s Mire
The Rose of Love is
Bound up with briars
Priests in black fashion
Tend barren pyres

They play us for the
Fools of Reason

Rescind the Orders
Of the rigid frame
Awake the sleepers
From senseless shame
Delete the statutes
Man will not be tamed
Deluded Rulers
Won’t rig the Game

We’ll overthrow the
Rules of Reason
