2.	Humanity Family 06:23	lyrics	buy track
Humanity Family Fooling around with hot explosives Is not a healthy way to be seen Running around like a headless chicken Is not an executable scheme Humanity, when will you ever learn Your family, it takes so long to burn Swimming around in the salty ocean Is not the only way to get drowned Flying around used to the be future But now we dump trash in the clouds Humanity, when will you ever learn Your family, it takes so long to burn Toying around with a man’s emotions Is a cruel and unusual game Waiting around just to watch him suffer Is not the most noble of aims Humanity, when will you ever learn Your family, it takes so long to burn We don’t need to cry out loud We just get by Living with our arms out wide stretched to the sky We don’t need to cry out loud We just get by Living with our arms out wide stretched to the sky

Lay the Hands This is the part that I dreamt about This is the part that I have dreamt about This is the time that we start to shine This is the time that we must start to shine We always take the chance to compromise It’s a time to fantasize And to put the third eye on the prize Let’s lay the hands Let’s lay the hands Let’s lay the hands Let’s do it again Lay the hands I can’t choose to believe and I can’t believe to choose I don’t know what to do (Lay the hands) I need more information, I need more information I don’t know what to do (Lay the hands) Can’t trust things blindly, can’t trust things blindly Can’t trust things (Lay the hands) I can’t choose to believe and I can’t believe to choose I don’t know what to do This is our chance to dance the dance This is our chance to dance the ancient dance This is the place we come face to face We come face to face with the human race We all must take a bow just once in life It’s a time for sacrifice It’s a time to have our paradise Let’s lay the hands Let’s lay the hands Let’s lay the hands Let’s do it again Lay the hands I can’t choose to believe and I can’t believe to choose I don’t know what to do (Lay the hands) I need more information, I need more information I don’t know what to do (Lay the hands) Can’t trust things blindly, can’t trust things blindly Can’t trust things (Lay the hands) I can’t choose to believe and I can’t believe to choose I don’t know what to do
5.	That Changes Everything 04:37	lyrics	buy track
That Changes Everything I thought of everything Extra batteries Cans of food to eat First aid and bandages Matches for fire I heard some people say they heard there’s safety in the ocean So now I’m going to walk in the direction of the ocean I wonder if it’s true about the safety in the ocean I only wish they would have specified about which ocean It changes you It changes me, too The changes inside a shattered mind I thought of everything Purification pills Rifles and knives to kill Blanket of wool to wear To keep out the frost bite I heard some people say there’s cannibals up in the mountains So I’ll make sure to keep a keep a distance from those mountains I hope it’s just a lie about the terror in the mountains Cause I don’t want to have somebody eat me in the mountains It changes you It changes me, too The changes inside a shattered mind That changes everything Conditions improving now The atmosphere’s calming Poles have stability Nobody’s screaming I heard some people say it was a momentary rapture But I’m not even certain what they mean when they say “rapture” So I don’t know a thing about this momentary rapture I’m just so relieved I wasn’t burned up in the rapture It changes you It changes me, too The changes inside a shattered mind
6.	Together With You 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Together With You I don’t care if we’re never together as long as I’m with you It doesn’t matter if we’re never together I’ll always be with you Always with you is the way it is forever as long as I’m with you I don’t care if we’re never together as long as I’m with you I could last in any kind of weather as long as it’s with you Rain and snow and sleet all mixed together I’ll always be with you Forever with you is the way we’ll be together as long as I’m with you I could last in any kind of weather as long as it’s with you

8.	Victory Days (Victory Ways) 05:23	lyrics	buy track
Victory Days (Victory Ways) Playing games to win Is the only way to play games And being well-behaved Is not the only way to behave Yes, stand on the throat Of the man who stands in your way There were some days when we only had money honey Meaningless days Meaningless ways Now are the days in the land of the honey honey Victory days Victory ways Grapes, feed me grapes And fill my chalice with wine And wrap me in finest silks And parade me through the town Yes, horns sing out my song It’s the only song to sing There were some days when we only had money honey Meaningless days Meaningless ways Now are the days in the land of the honey honey Victory days Victory ways

about

Beasts from a Silk Womb is UNIVORE’s loose interpretation of the modern and traditional mythologies of the end times, as predicted both by societies’ deliberate or incidental adherence to cyclic cosmology and by the frequent overzealous portraits of the rapture phenomenon put forth by multiple religious sects. Beasts From A Silk Womb is the confluence of apocalyptic imagery and the expected human responses of preparation, celebration, and defiance to the end of the world, all of which are proven moot as more such predictions fail into the 21st century.

The album is thirty-four minutes in length and features eight new original tracks:

888 (inst.)
Humanity Family
Beast From A Silk Womb (inst.)
Lay The Hands
That Changes Everything
Together With You
Ice Trust (inst.)
Victory Days (Victory Ways)

UNIVORE recorded, produced, and mixed all tracks at their home studio, Chubby Luggage, in the East Village neighborhood on the west side of Chicago, formerly a warm, shallow sea pregnant with the now-fossilized plant spores and crinoids of the Silurian period until it all hardened into limestone bedrock. The recording was made with the use of guitars, bass, electric and acoustic, synthesizers, beat sequencers, acoustic drums, an air-conditioner, human voices, and tambourine.
