Set (Extended Mix) Song Lyrics
Set (Extended Mix) by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard [Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]
Snout of a jackal and tail of a snake
Slithers and slinks through the desert, awake
Gorges on moonbeam and bathes in quantum foam
Unchallenged in the infinite unknown
[Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie]
Tornado bore down and lifted him high
Throwing Set around with a windy cry
His bones did shatter and his flesh did rend
But still, the God did not bend
[Pre-Chorus]
Osiris of Geb, of Nut and dead
Dutifully did what he was beset
[Chorus]
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Sеt
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Sеt
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
[Verse 3: Stu Mackenzie]
Governs sandstorms with but a gesture
Squeezing day into night with supernatural pressure
God of duality and king of the fight
Right eye is the sun, and left the moon's light
[Verse 4: Stu Mackenzie]
His followers screamed, his enemies cheered
As they watched their golden God disappear
Be unto your storm with a final breath
Set, it's time to meet your death
[Pre-Chorus]
Osiris of earth, of sky, and birth
Cut the cord, kill the king and reset
[Chorus]
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
[Bridge: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
The God of death and rebirth too
Out with the old and in with the new
Ashes to gashes, the past of new life is made
Brightened up the shadows, light up the shade
Horus gave Set the downstairs snip-snip
Poked out his eyes and ripped it to pieces
Eighty years of conflict
Crocodile-dog-birth
Lucifer inverted, slender usurper, piece of work
Struggling stranglehold akin to the poison and going for broke
An eye for a sun, an eye for the moon
Love letter death-threats written in the tomb
[Pre-Chorus: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
The seed is set
Cow-horn-headdress
The seed is set
Hieroglyphic
[Chorus]
Set, slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
Slay the mighty Set
["Converge" Refrain]
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
[Verse 5: Stu Mackenzie]
The painter of death, the puppeting hand
Colours all upon the canvas of their aeons expanse
Sucking starlight from distant planets
In spheres of dying fireballs of heavens they dance
[Verse 6: Stu Mackenzie]
That god brought about a hellish era
Of ten brilliant bodies burning stellar
This dragon never felt any bloodguilt
Drink the f**kin’ gas and kill
["Converge" Refrain]
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge
Converge, converge (Set, Set, Set, Set, Set)
Converge, converge (Set, Set, Set)
Converge, converge (Set, Set, Set, Set, Set)
Converge, converge (Set, Set, Set)
