Chez - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
main mix
pressed in 2006
welcome to your life
there's no turning back
even while we sleep
we will find you
acting on your best behavior
turn your back on mother nature
everybody wants to rule the world
the world (the world)
the world (the world)
it's my whole design
it's my whole remorse
help me to decide
help me make the most of freedom
and of pleasure
nothing ever lasts forever
everybody wants to rule the world
there's a room where the light won't find you
holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
when they do, i'll be right behind you
so glad we've almost made it
so sad they had to fade it
everybody wants to rule the world
the world (the world)
the world (the world)
no matter where you go
no matter what you do
no matter who you see
or who you try to be
everybody wants to rule the world
no matter what you do
no matter what you say
everybody wants to rule the world
whether it's you, whether it's me
or him, or her
we all want to rule the world
no matter who you be
no matter who you please
everybody wants to rule the world
the world (the world)
the world (the world)
"That is the language dragons speak, and the language Segoy spoke who made the islands of the world, and the language of our lays and songs, spells, enchantments, and invocations. Its words lie hidden and changed amoung our Hardic words. We call the foam on the waves sukien: that word is made from two words of the Old Speech, suk, feather, and inien, the sea. Feather of the sea is foam. But cannot charm the foam calling it sukien; you must use its own true name in the Old Speech, which is essa. But there are many more, and some have been lost over the ages, and some have been hidden, and some are known only to dragons and the Old Powers of Earth, and some are known to no living creature; and no man could learn them all. For there is no end to that language."
"Here is the reason. The sea's name is inien, well and good. But what we call the Inmost Sea has its own true name also in the Old Speech. Since no thing can have two true names, inien can mean only 'all the sea except the Inmost Sea.'
And of course it does not mean even that, for there are seas and bays and straits beyond counting that bear names of their own. So if some Mage-Seamaster were mad enough to try to lay a spell of storm or calm over the ocean, his spell must say not only that word inien, but the name of every stretch and bit and part of the sea through all the Archipelago and all the Outer Reaches and beyond to where names cease. A mage can control only what is near him, what he can name exactly and wholly. And this is well. If it were not so, the wickedness of the powerful or the folly of the wise would long ago have sought to change what cannot be changed, and Equilibrium would fail. The unbalanced sea would overwhelm the islands where we perilously dwell, and in the old silence all voices and all names would be lost." - Ursula K. Le Guin (cut)
