Voivod - Jack Luminous Lyrics






Listen! Listen to me! Can't you hear me?!
Listen! I beg of you!
I have escaped the one who rules deep in space
He knows my name, I know his game
Now that I'm here, he will know where I am...
And he will get you too!
And he will make you believe whatever he wants
Inside your brain, he'll play his game

Listen now!
Please! Don't you believe whatever he says... whatever he says... whatever he says...

I'm no preacher, I'm no space cowboy
I'm no flash in the pan!
Don't you know that you have another thing coming?
You are not safe, here in this place
Are you aware you face your lat dead line?
I am here to warn you... President X-D will be on your TV
Electron waves, a pixel face

Listen now!
Please! Don't you believe whatever he says... whatever he says... whatever he says...

You will never switch him off, when you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff, he's well organized

He gets around...

Listen to me, it's not easy... to let you be
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away
My words are clear, we can't stay here... what do you fear?
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away

You, people of this world, be prepared to greet Me
You, people of this world, you will submit to Me!

Deep into my third eye, you are getting sleepy
Deep into my third eye, now you belong to me!

Now! Is the time, together we can change this place... for the... better

Now, focus on my voice, will you do it for me?
Now, focus on my voice, yes you will do it for me!

I'll give you everything, but you must come to me
I'll give you everything, but you'll have to join me!

Now! Is the time, together we can change this place... for the... better

You will never switch him off, when you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff, he's well organized

X-D is coming... the sky is changing
X-D is coming... my head is spinning

And what about Hydra, Sirrah, Pollux and Gemma...
Diadem, Bellatrix, Mirach, Izar...

Lies are what we once knew, time to live something new, hey hey
We can no longer take things for granted
We can no remember what we wanted, hey hey
We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore, he is what we're living for
We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore... not anymore...

More than tears fill my eyes, as bright ships dot the sky
More than fear is in sight, as moon and sun stand by... and cry

So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends
X-D is now in control, making plans for His new home

Fate lights me from within, to the stars I'm fleeing
Earth heeds not my warning, forever sleepwalking... dreaming

So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends
Maybe one day, time will tell, I'll be back and break the spell...
I'll break the spell... break the spell...

    PROGRESSIVE METAL FOREVER

  14. i.... ....

    Now that I think about it, pretty sure this is where devin townsend got a lot of his sound from

  15. D.... ....

    A masterpiece. Progressive metal that, despite being 17 minutes long, doesn't overstay it's welcome. I've walked by this album a few times at the record store, but after listening to only this song I won't walk past it again.

  16. M.... A....

    9:56 - 11:10 Going from that short more traditional Rock & roll solo and fading into those dissonant ascending chords is eargasmic and pure Metal bliss to my ears. Not the most complex part, but talk about knowing how to mix your guitar leads and rhythms to create a mindblowing piece .I dont think ive heard anyone more adept at creating "out of this world" soundscapes like Piggy. Im facinated more and more by this mans playing. RIP

  17. G.... M....

    Happy Metal!

  18. J.... C....

    This album song always reminds of the invaders

  19. P.... B....

    Patrick Beausoleil I miss big Steeve

  20. C.... ....

    President XD is MSM.

  21. M.... B....

    That vocal bit around 10:00 reminds me of Gentle Giant.

  22. M.... B....

    I used to listen to an internet radio show in the early 2000s that was all prog, all the time. The host of the show was a guy called Jack Luminous. Great track BTW. It's the type of prog/metal I wish Rush would've done.

  23. A.... P....

    Fucking wow

  24. o.... m....

    getting chills as i listen to this... that guitar style, sound and tone... crazy time sigs, too... gets kinda Rush-y here and there

  33. l.... ....

    One word: EPIC!!!

  34. J.... ....

    Quite possibly my favorite song of all time...

  35. S.... ....

    Surprised this doesn't have more views. Definitely one of my favorite songs.

  36. Z.... D....

    With the death of piggy the band is over, he was the inventive soul, he was able to
    mix the Prog and psychedelic music of the legendary 70s with the metal
    and I'm convinced that Robert Fripp was his hero

    Z.... D....

    Zar Doz psshh Chewy does an amazing job at capturing piggy's feel

    Z.... D....

    I could never have imagined voivod without piggy. Had the band simply replaced him I could not have followed them however with the release of material that he recorded and subsequent tours with chewy I feel that chewys presence in the band is something that grew organically and that he belongs in this band. Not only is chewy a phenomenal guitarist and life long piggy fan, not only does he faithfully follow in the steps of the master, he is to my ears now moving forward intelligently, noting fripps, Floyd's, 70s prog influences and incorporating further musical developments of those influences particularly 90s and beyond krimson. Anticipating where things could have gone. Target earth was a really good album but the post society ep. Is outstanding. Chewy is more tallented, intelligent and thoughtfully than could be hoped for and I am sure piggy would be beside him self to get to play with him. You have to give post society a chance and from what I am reading "we are connected" is the best indicator as to where they are headed on the next album. Sorry to be so long winded but voivod has been my favorite metal, and beyond, band since 87 and I'm still all in with chewy, am really looking forward to the new album AND as you are here I know you are a lover of great music and don't want you to miss out. Chewy is not just a replacement. Think about it... These guys would never have just done that to piggy. Also since you are here you are probably pretty cool so check this shit out. I just googled "does" to check spelling and the first thing to come up in the suggestions was the question "does piggy die" so I clicked on it to see what was up and it was a question relating to the lord of the flies. WTF?

    Z.... D....

    Zar Dozt... the replacement is kicking ass. Breath of fresh air into the band. New stuff is awesome.

    Z.... D....

    'The Wake' is incredible. Highly recommend you give it a try :D They are very far from over.

  37. b.... ....

    Jack Luminous: President X is coming!!

    Humans of Earth: oh my, how do we get away from him?

    Jack: oh didn't think of that.

    Humans: thanks jack

    President X: hey gurl, hey

    Jack: later gator

    Humans: thanks jack

    b.... ....

    yes. yes!

  38. S.... ....

    Total masterpiece.

  39. D.... C....

    Ha Ha Ha one of my best delusions of the early 90's

  40. C.... d....

    YES!!!!

  41. M.... K....

    their most epic work epic and thats saying something .!  love this track

  42. W.... ....

    MASTERPIECE

    W.... ....

    MONSTERPIECE

  43. D.... B....

    Going to see them in an hour in SF!

    D.... B....

    How was it?

  44. K.... P....

    Has anyone else noticed that the section starting at 6:40 is a direct homage to Van Der Graaf Generator's "Man-Erg"?

    K.... P....

    Completely ! "How can I be freeeeeee ?, How can i get help ? "

    K.... P....

    Piggy likes quoting parts from other bands / composers

    K.... P....

    Yeah I hear it. VDGG is one my favorite prog groups. Voivod is now one of my favorite progressive metal bands.

    K.... P....

    I feel like this whole band is a Metal version of Van der graaf generator

  50. M.... ....

    One thing missing but hinted at is the ORIGINAL VIOVOD concept origin, Drummer Away related it's from his real dream 'nightmares' and IIRC, took shape in his youth, his drawings and artistic skill relating directly to the musical themes and vision, though they didn't just happen as part of the band forming, these were things that helped shape their musical direction and everyone was on board with, as far as my knowledge goes. It presented a unique concept album approach that goes beyond one album, and a mere mascot like Maiden's Eddie

  51. M.... ....

    Good band description as you touch on their diverse inspirational elements, they make it clear that Pink Floyd and Yes as well as other 60 to 70s Prog Rock bands were the earliest inspirations, and naturally Metal from the mid 70s onward. Proto Metal often has a bearing on these musicians based on their age, like me.

  52. s.... p....

    quelle aflux d'oxygène...c'est un album...incompris..moi,j'ai compris..avangardiste!!!

  53. r.... j....

    Best riffs ever?

    r.... j....

    Perhaps, man, perhaps...

    r.... j....

    14:15 YSSSSSSSS

    r.... j....

    5:20 yes

    r.... j....

    1:18 yes

  54. C.... G....

    I have the cassette and 3d glasses...found at a thrift store a few years back...

    C.... G....

    Me too.. had it since the release

    C.... G....

    I have the cd with the 3D glasses too!!

  55. K.... ....

    I still have my 3D glasses to view the cd cover and booklet appropriately. And that's all I yem a sayin'.

  56. s.... ....

    None more epic.

    s.... ....

    ALMOST "none more epic". This is among my top few absolute most crushing epic songs ever, "Jack Luminous." Ultimately, however, the following song sits at the TIP top, and will reign forever, and we WILL praise him!!

    This is my all time favorite song......

    might just be mine as well. canadian genius.
