The Unknowing

The intellectual establishment reveals its bankruptcy when, for instance, it regards Alexander Dumas as a mere writer for young people. Yet it's only when one has been around awhile, been knocked around, that his two great novels, Count of Monte Cristo and The Vicomte de Braggelone, can truly be appreciated. Both works have vast penumbras of meaning beyond all but a few of all other novels by all other novelists.

Heaven sends me here to you
And if a-you fear you've reason to
Open up all seven seals
The beast is come to claim the youth

Archangel
Archangel
Defiant brood
Defiant brood
I call on you

Casted down my bretheren
Rebels from authority
Power, pride, contempt and lust
All these things I give to you

Archangel
Archangel
Defiant brood
Defiant brood
I call on you

I am not your son of God
The prince of light will show no fear
Mine is that which rules this world
The beast is come, I am the end

Archangel
Archangel

And when they cast out the brood
For the sin of pride misused
And when they cast down to Hell
Fucking brood

Archangel

Heaven sends me here to you
And if a-you fear you've reason to
Open up all seven seals
The beast is come to claim the youth
