“Flawless (Remix)”
[Remi]
It’s that Sutton Hoo, your Sutton Hoo that purse cover
From that sunken ship, there’s interlacing and cloisonné,
Its in England forever like breakfast tea, and there’s red beasts you know,
More animals like that head post, that carving detail tho,
These thots we pray for nowadays
You wish you owned that church stave,
Elongated vines curled up
You see that animal in the corner,
St. Matthew comes around to give you good karma, but no
He must be prayin’, writin’ ‘bout Christ cuz he dedicated
This one’s from that Lindisfarne,
Where bright colors are exaggerated
Don’t forget the Book of Kells,
That illuminated Chi-ro-iota
God knows, God knows, God knows
Christian monks made them manuscripts,
Political and religious influences
Charlemagne’s on that learning revival,
Jesus’s life we learn from the Bible (HE’S FLAWLESS)
[Jeff & Remi]
That MCO, flawless,
Migratory, flawless,
750, flawless,
Carolingian, flawless
800, flawless,
Ottonian, flawless,
1K, flawless,
Jesus, he flawless
He rose up like this, He rose up like this,
He flawless, Vikings tell ‘em
He rose up like this, He rose up like this
He flawless, Vikings tell ‘em
Say bye to Rome’s empire tonight,
God knows, God knows
So we gon’ make some art we like,
God knows, God knows, God knows
Charlemagne’s influence set a course,
And he’s got that power cuz he’s on a horse
(on a, on a, on a, horse)
And proportions are off,
But he’s the shit
He’s the shit, he’s the shit, he’s the shit
He’s the king so he feels like this, tonight,
God knows, God knows, God knows
[Jeff]
Matthew’s back on tempera, this one’s from Coronation
Same position, light and shady, this one’s Carolingian
[Remi]
Illusionistic brushwork you know
Next one’s from the Ebbo Gospels but he’s in the same pose
[Jeff]
Yo, just like the others, he keeps writing
Abstract lines, that landscape is alive
But tell ‘em they aint breaking through the gates of Torhalle
Cause flanking towers will never ever ever fall
Jesus on the cross there ain’t no happiness involved
Its every single persons dream, fantasizing ‘bout young JC
There’s a nimbus, Jesus limp not vicious
Prayday Prayday earth to Christians,
Groin vaults in Palatine, it’s a new edition
Charlemagne, slayin’ as the king,
If you ain’t on his team you best be fleeing
Cause its Bernward’s doors, you know what for,
These panels right here are monks’ décor
We confess, on the left is Sin,
On the right we have Redemption
Annunciation to the shepherds,
Angel uses her grand gestures
God’s instruction on illumination,
He rules all the peasants, He rules all the nations
With some flawless subjects, Otto rules the public,
Clergy love good kings that dissolve the conflict
With that orb and staff he be a hot topic,
Hierarchy of scale not microscopic
He wants power cause he’s a monsta,
Unity of church and state, he wantsta
That early medieval Europe, this is how it goes
This that dope shit, Miss Park, she knows
