It was crime at the time But the laws, we changed 'em Though the hero for hire's Forever the same one. Introducing for the first time Pharaoh on the microphone Sing all hail What'll be revealed today When we peer into the great unknown From the line to the throne? Awakened to cheers after years on the faultline We are shocked to be here In the face of the meantime Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me Is to separate my blood from bone. It will all fail Feeling what i feel today When we peer into the great unknown From the line to the throne. Form a line through here Form a line to the throne Form a line through here Form a line to the throne Form a line through here Form a line to the throne Alone in the chain It remains to be seen how How well you can play When the pawn takes a queen now.

This is an excellent song to start a mix tape or playlist with. It has a feeling of Sgt. Pepper-ish introduction to it. And we appeal to the great unknown from the land of the throne. The rest of the song sort of has a Sparks and Buggles feel to it which must have felt so knowingly retro in the heady days of the noughties. There was a new feeling in indie at the time. Collectives was the new thing.
