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
The lyrics NEVER LET GO OF THE MICROSCOPE of ENTER SHIKARI is also present in the album The mindsweep (2015)
Enter Shikari è una band inglese di post-hardcore formatasi a St Albans, Hertfordshire nel 2003. Il nome della band deriva da un'imbarcazione appartenente ad un parente di uno dei membri e da un personaggio in una pièce teatrale scritta da Roughton "Rou" Reynolds prima della formazione del gruppo, entrambi chiamati Shikari. Shikari significa anche 'Cacciatore' in marathi, persiano, hindi, nepalese, urdu, punjabi e bengali. La band è caratterizzata da un sound energico ed innovativo che fonde elementi di post-hardcore, elettronica, metalcore e rock progressivo. I loro testi spesso trattano temi sociali, politici e personali, con una forte componente narrativa. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Gandhi", "Ssswith", "The Last Garrison" e "Constellations". L'album di debutto "Take to the Skies" (2007) ha ottenuto un grande successo di critica e pubblico, consolidando la posizione della band nel panorama musicale alternativo.
