Demons Of Thought Lyrics

I lit the flames, the circle glowed

I called for power, the spell bestowed

"I want control of time and space!"

Out pops a merry imp's smiling face

"My name is Laplace, I know it all

Every particle's path, its rise and fall

I can tell you their speed and direction

But don't ask for more than a particle's spin"

Demons of science, demons of thought

Not the ones I wanted, but the ones I got

No claws, no wings, no hellfire in sight

Just riddles and science ruining my night

"Enough!" I yelled. "Send me some heat!

A demon with fire to bring defeat!"

In goggles and gloves, with a jaunty hat

Maxwell's demon arrived just like that!

"I sort particles, fast and slow

Creating chaos wherever I go!

But fire or flames? That's not my game

Just energy tricks - it's kinda the same!"

Demons of science, demons of thought

Not the ones I wanted, but the ones I got

No claws, no wings, no hellfire in sight

Just riddles and science ruining my night

"Is this for real!?!" I screamed aloud

And from the smoke stepped one quite proud

With a puff of smoke and a pensive glare

Descartes' demon appeared from thin air

"Reality's fake, or is it true?

What do you trust in all you do?

Cogito ergo sum, it's clear to me

You're real... but that's all I guarantee!"

"What's the point? Why even try?"

I asked the void with a desperate cry

With a puff appeared Socrates' grin

"Ah, the ultimate question - let's begin!"

"What do you want? What's your plan?

Are you a wizard or just a man?

The answers lie not in what you demand

But in the questions you fail to understand"

The demons laughed, they danced and played

None of them helped, none obeyed

The imps just chuckled and danced in a ring

"Logic and thought are powerful things!"

Maybe wizardry isn't my career

These imps of reason make it clear

From Laplace to Socrates, they're quite a crew

But for world domination? I've got no clue
