Enter Shikari

Lyrics Never let go of the microscope Enter Shikari

Never let go of the microscope


Like Socrates I only graze on the slopes
Of the summit of my own ignorance
Like Hippocrates I can affirm that the method of science
Is an appliance that emancipates us from dogma
And slant
And bias
Ah, the seasons are changing

The velocities at which we now evolve
Mean we got to dissolve unchecked tradition
But atrocities go untouched under the guise of culture
Committed on another mind another heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
I've got a sinking feeling

Like Sophocles we now wield the paintbrush
So keep a tight grip on a magnifying glass
Our priorities now that we hold the torch
Mean we got to hold it high to illuminate the dark
And archaic
And vile
We swear allegiance to no one

We never let go of the microscope
No matter how callous the shells

We'll harness the heat of the sun
And we'll burn you out of fucking existence

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics NEVER LET GO OF THE MICROSCOPE of ENTER SHIKARI is also present in the album The mindsweep (2015)

Biografia

Enter Shikari is an English post-hardcore band formed in St Albans, Hertfordshire in 2003. The band's name derives from a boat belonging to a relative of one of the members and a character in a play written by Roughton "Rou" Reynolds before forming the band, both named Shikari. Shikari also means 'Hunter' in Marathi, Persian, Hindi, Nepali, Urdu, Punjabi and Bengali. The band is characterized by an energetic and innovative sound that blends elements of post-hardcore, electronic, metalcore and progressive rock. Their lyrics often deal with social, political and personal themes, with a strong narrative component. Among the most representative songs are "Gandhi", "Ssswith", "The Last Garrison" and "Constellations". The debut album "Take to the Skies" (2007) achieved great critical and commercial success, consolidating the band's position in the alternative music scene.
