Crescendo (Dungeon Suite)

Crescendo was originally inspired by and based upon the opening dance routine from Gaspar Noé‘s 2018 film, Climax.

once upon a time
science opened up a door
and supernature stepped up to the floor

raw potential
wall to wall
one all possessing overture
that built to a crescendo set to echo through the void

paranoid
the strobes slow to remote control the flow
reverberations moan low
as the bassline then goes solo

(echo through the void)
as above
same so below
with no show on restraint
one hundred beasts all prowl within one cage

one hundred beasts
one hundred beasts
one hundred hundred hundred beasts
one hundred beasts all prowl within one cage

one cage
one cage
one cage
one cage

one hundred beasts
one hundred beasts
one hundred hundred hundred beasts
one hundred beasts all prowl within one cage

we don’t need no fire to make the motherfucker burn
for luck she be a lady
and she rages as she turns
the word on the street is that it missed a beat
no mystery
the rest and for the best
is ancient history
supernature
fuels the engine
driving the desire to twist and turn
the fire within
entitling the flames of ranged obsession
unrequited
crisis intervention
heightened senses
redefining
tension

bound to tempo
rising
writhing
jump cables
electrifying
testifying
thunder
lightning
fire and ice
with guests arriving
elements
undressed
yet binded
flesh enmeshed
reenergising
never less than breath defying
frequence
mesmerising sequence and a chorus line ablaze
one hundred beasts all prowl within one cage

one hundred beasts
one hundred beasts
one hundred beasts all prowl within
one hundred beasts all prowl within one cage

one hundred beasts
one hundred beasts
one hundred hundred hundred beasts
one hundred beasts all prowl within one cage

building to crescendo
skin too tight to try and let go
transmutation
forward facing
all embracing
force gale breaking
waves of raw potential
wild and brave
in sleek formation
scientific minds
creating
refrain
plain exhilarating

ecstasy has back its plaything
peeling back the pain of waiting
bound to tempo
rising
writhing
jump cables
electrifying
testifying
thunder
lightning
fire and ice
with guests arriving
elements
undressed
yet binded
flesh enmeshed
reenergising

heightened senses
heightened senses
heightened senses
redefining
heightened senses
redefining
tension
heightened senses
redefining
tension
(tension)

in this moment
all components
operate as one
the dance dear friends
has only just begun

the dance dear friends
has only just begun

the dance dear friends
the dance dear friends
the dance dear friends
the dance dear friends
the dance dear friends
has only just begun
(echo through the void)
