[00:02.04]
[00:03.04]Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
[00:06.03]there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived,
[00:10.40]their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
[00:13.66]obscured as it was by great clouds.
[00:17.91]Here they played out their peaceful lives,
[00:19.98]innocent of the litany of excess and violence
[00:22.71]that was growing in the world below.
[00:25.28]To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain
[00:27.25]called Monkey was enough.
[00:29.78]Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.
[00:34.00]They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses,
[00:37.41]but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows.
[00:41.30]You see, without the Truth of the Eyes,
[00:44.42]the Happyfolk were blind.
[00:46.24]
[00:48.38]Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
[00:52.61]Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
[00:57.38]Jump back from behind them and shoot them in the head
[01:01.90]Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
[01:06.70]the dance of the dead,
[01:09.04]the dance of the dead
[01:12.76]
[01:24.04]In time, Strangefolk found their way
[01:26.57]into the high reaches of the mountain,
[01:29.04]and it was there that they found
[01:30.31]the caves of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty.
[01:34.96]By chance, they stumbled upon
[01:37.19]the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest.
[01:40.94]The Strangefolk,
[01:42.39]they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
[01:46.16]and soon they began to mine the mountain,
[01:48.92]its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
[01:54.58]Meanwhile, down in the town,
[01:57.11]the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
[01:59.43]their dreams invaded by shadowy figures
[02:01.73]digging away at their souls.
[02:03.62]Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
[02:08.09]Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
[02:11.68]And as the Strangefolk mined
[02:14.07]deeper and deeper into the mountain,
[02:15.50]holes began to appear,
[02:17.30]bringing with them a cold and bitter wind
[02:19.84]that chilled the very soul of them up.
[02:22.11]For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful
[02:25.03]for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir
[02:28.05]from its deep sleep.
[02:30.01]And then came a sound.
[02:31.58]Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense
[02:36.10]it could be heard far away in space.
[02:39.44]There were no screams. There was no time.
[02:43.88]The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
[02:47.05]There was only fire. And then, nothing.
[02:51.31]
[02:52.87]O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see
[02:57.68]There's nothing you believe you want
[03:02.31]But where were you when it all came down on me?
[03:10.37]Did you call me now?
[03:13.67]
[03:14.48]
[03:15.14]
