Name: The single (Pay Day)
Duration: P00H05M48S

Atmospheric, progressive song. There are instances in business life when an employee turns up at work, told to go to their desk, take their personal effects, and leave. In a word, fired with no notice. However, there's a more general undercurrent in the lyrics.

lyrics

On entering this establishment, please note that questions are not tolerated.
Take only what is personal, for what is left will be incinerated.
Follow the markers, looking neither to right nor left.
Erase all memory of what you've left.

There is no comeback. No payback. No compensation.
You came with nothing, go with nothing. Records wiped. No identification.
Destroy all instructions, whether or not you understand.
It’s better you don’t know what’s never been planned.

Oh! I gave my life for you! Oh! I gave my life for you!

Don’t try to suss the Corporation.
Don’t try to suss the reason why.
Don’t try to gauge each situation.
Do! Do! Do! Do! Do! then die!

Oh! I gave my life for you! Oh! I gave my life for you!
Oh! I gave my life for you! Life for you! Life for you!

All that I is all that you are
All that I is all that you are
for what you've left inside is ours.
for what you've left inside is rightfully ours
in spite of all the endless seeking hours,
all you are now is what is rightfully ours.
This is your Payday. This is Payoff. The life you've spent with us is Payday,
your final …...
