about
Performed live since 1999 as "Alexandria, Falling" and developed as a concept album in 2007, this EP contains an expanded 9-song opus in rich, complex Indian / Arabic / Post-Rock fusion. Primarily instrumental (only two tracks contain vocals on this album) and segmented into individual chapters, the "Alexandria, Falling" EP is a paranoid look into a near-dystopian reality; the genocide of all that was once subtle, and real.

1:1 Alexandria, Falling
Lyrics From "Alexandria, Falling EP"
Lyrics and Music by Julean Rai (BMI)
VERSE I
Now it's time for the daily hate
Incomplete like an Adirondack
And a lot of us have oft been fed
These are your rites of passage
PRE-CHORUS I
So
Ask me questions and I'll tell you no lies
Sit down and I'll reconsider
An operator and a poor man dies
Like a message, half delivered
It's
Hemlock for shylock and dreadlock
And burnout and nigger, too --
T-minus 40 and counting
Who will drop the governor?
CHORUS
Fall over, Alexandria ...
Fall over, Alexandria ...
VERSE II
It's time to incorporate
Pieces of the hesitation
'Cause you can't do when you gotta wait
Can't act when you don't believe it
PRE-CHORUS II
So
We hide under cover of dark
And fold our fingers to denial
And praise the nation's messiah
As we lay waste to Alexandria
The warlocks and half-sparks
Are turned and burned and medicated, too
T-minus 40 you go
and I will cover you.
CHORUS
Fall over, Alexandria ...
Fall over, Alexandria ...
Fall over.
