Samples/Lyrics
- A large group of people conversing in a room. A young woman's laugh is heard prominently at the very beginning of the track and is repeatedly throughout the track in the background.
- A voice is thought to be saying "Alpha and Omega" over a loudspeaker at the beginning and end of the track. The pitch slows down sharply. (0:07)
- Vocals over a telephone or walkie talkie which have been sliced and rearranged in the style of Telephasic Workshop (2:30, 5:38)
- A shrill sound reminiscent of a pig squeal, followed by very faint children's voices (3:33)
- A young woman gasping (4:15, 4:25, 4:35, 4:45, 4:55, 5:05, 5:43)
- A woman's voice is heard saying "Yellow!" (4:17)
- Panned slightly to the right, a thin, whispery sound existing in the high treble frequencies seems to be saying "that's the one" (repeatedly from 4:44 until 5:43)[1]
- Indistinct speech (5:10)
- A man's back masked voice saying "I'm a God-darned Satanist, and, if I wanted, I'd be in this business too." (6:30)
- Reversed male vocals with room ambience (6:39)
Comments
- Alpha And Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.
- The following Bible refs, by [DC]:
- "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." - Rev 1:8
- "He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." - Rev 21:6
- "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End - Rev 22:13."
- The super-bomb in the film [Beneath the Planet of the Apes], guarded by a strange cult that worships the bomb, is described as a "doomsday weapon", and it has capital Greek letters Alpha and Omega inscribed on one of its fins (this is specifically mentioned in the film). [DC]
