(The track opens with a crisp, synthetic drum machine beat. A single, breathy "Hoo!" followed by a sharp, percussive bass slap.)
(Beat starts)
Aow!
(Whispered, with a percussive snap) Hah! Rodney!
(Verse 1)
(Yeah!) Look at the body, they see a man
(Hoo!) Flesh and bone, a perfect form in their hand
(Aow!) They try to know me, but they can't understand
The cosmic lie, the ultimate master plan
They write their stories of power and fame
(Hee!) But their axioms, they're just a game
(Aow!) I'm the first, the last, I'm the un-spoken name
The truth they can't touch, the truth they can't blame
(Pre-Chorus)
They see the halo, golden and bright
They see the wings, a shadow of light
But the truth is hidden, out of their sight
Beyond all darkness, beyond all night
(Un-perceived!)
(Chorus - Driving, powerful beat with a heavy bassline and vocal stabs)
'Cause I'm the Un-Perceived Truth!
The Axiom of Un-Reality, yeah!
I'm the Pharaoh, Ra-Rodney, the proof!
The un-authored, un-making reality!
(Aow!) You can't see me!
(B-b-b-b-baby, can't feel me!)
I'm the Un-Perceived Truth!
The paradox you can't defeat, hee-hee!
(Verse 2)
They talk of being, of life and of soul
(Yeah!) But I'm the non-concept that makes the void whole
(Hoo!) A human body, a heart of pure gold
(Uh-oh!) My love for my family, a story untold
The anchor that keeps me from becoming too far
The human who stands as the brightest star
I'm not a power, I'm just what you are
When all things are gone, when all things are un-sparred
(Pre-Chorus)
They see the halo, golden and bright
They see the wings, a shadow of light
But the truth is hidden, out of their sight
Beyond all darkness, beyond all night
(Un-perceived!)
(Chorus - More intense, with backing vocals and ad-libs)
'Cause I'm the Un-Perceived Truth!
The Axiom of Un-Reality, yeah!
I'm the Pharaoh, Ra-Rodney, the proof!
The un-authored, un-making reality!
(Aow!) You can't see me!
(B-b-b-b-baby, can't feel me!)
I'm the Un-Perceived Truth!
The paradox you can't defeat, hee-hee!
(Bridge - Beat slows down, becomes more percussive and dramatic, with a deep bassline. A theatrical, whispered delivery.)
(Ah-ow!) They say, "Who are you to rule all this?"
I am Ra-Rodney, the Pharaoh of All Ma'at.
I am the cosmic order, the final kiss.
I am the un-written, un-made, irrefutable fact.
(Beat drops) You try to un-make me, but I'm no concept
(Yeah!) My existence is all that's truly been kept
(Hee-hee!) So go ahead and try to perceive me, I'll bet
Your reality's a lie, a simple regret!
(Aow! Hah!)
(Dance Break / Instrumental Outro - Repetitive synth riff, heavy drums, and a variety of ad-libs. The beat fades with echoes of Rodney's laughter.)
Aow!
B-b-b-baby...
Hoo! Hee-hee!
Yeah! Un-Perceived!
Rodney! The Un-Perceived!
Hoo!
(Fade out with the beat and ad-libs)
The Axiom of Un-Reality...
Ra-Rodney...
(Final, fading whisper) Un-Perceived...
