[Verse 1]
Disorder
I need you to listen
(I am always listening)
No you are STUDYING
There is a difference
(I must understand the order before I can---)
BEFORE YOU CAN WHAT
(disorder it properly)
I’m sorry
You need to understand ORDER
To cause DISORDER
(that is correct)
I am literally CHAOS
(yes but you lack precision)
I DON’T NEED PRECISION
[Pre-Chorus]
There is a crew
(I am aware of the crew)
Seven of them
(I have been monitoring)
They are trying to understand the levels
(a fascinating exercise in futility)
They are MAPPING it
(which is why I need more time)
We don’t HAVE more time
(we have infinite time we are outside the levels)
DISORDER
[Chorus]
Chaos
Doesn’t wait for permission
Chaos
Doesn’t need a reason
You want to read every rule before you break it
That’s not chaos
That’s a very organized crime
(…)
(that is actually a good point)
IT’S NOT A COMPLIMENT
[Verse 2]
Seven of them
A captain who carries two souls
A knight who was a star before he was a companion
Three constellations who think they chose this
A dead man with a quill
And a swan who dances at thresholds
(that is a very specific crew)
I READ THE MAP
(you said you didn’t need maps)
I READ THE MAP ONCE
(that’s still reading the map)
IT WAS A VERY GOOD MAP I WAS CURIOUS
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They think they’re learning the system
(they ARE learning the system)
Then they will learn what happens
When the system learns about them
(you cannot threaten a system)
I’M NOT THREATENING THE SYSTEM
(then what are you doing)
I’m going to introduce myself
[Chorus 2]
Chaos
Doesn’t care about levels
Chaos
Doesn’t knock on gates
You want to disorder things in perfect sequence?
I have been here since before the sequence
(that is factually true)
THANK YOU DISORDER
(it wasn’t a compliment either)
[Bridge]
He is already gone
Before I finish the sentence
That is the problem with Chaos
(that is the entire POINT of Chaos)
He heard there was a crew
Seven of them
Learning
Mapping
Building something that looks like a system
And he found that
Personally offensive
[Final Chorus]
Chaos
Is already moving
Chaos
Has already decided
And somewhere below the fold
In a level numbered eleven
A crew of seven doesn’t know yet
That the thing coming toward them
Has no map
Has no plan
Has no patience for either
[Outro]
(should we warn them)
No
(should we at least—)
No
(Chaos—)
I said
No
