Sagittarius Silver Announcement Lyrics

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, begin again
We can be like they are
We can be free
We can be like they are
We can be free
Free to be evil
Free to believe
Free to be slaves now
To this silver machine
(Can it help us?)
Yes, yes, yes
We can be like they are
(I can be like they are)
We can be free
(I can be free)
We can be like they are
(I can be like they are)
We can be free
(I can be free)
Free to eat the fruit
(I can eat the fruit)
From the evil tree
(From the evil tree)
Free to be one now
(Free to be one now)
With the silver machine
(Can it help us?)
Yes, yes, yes, yes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Its Genesis, human's deciding to become like gods and decide if they want to be evil or good. The whole point of Embryonic seems to be the concept of free will, and the ways humans deal with it.

@skepkid I do and have suffered from extreme anxiety for most of my life. I am re-emerging, slowly. I don't and never have trusted our governing entity. To me, this represents my being useful and productive while hiding in plain sight. These are current feelings. I love this band, capable of being very deep.

i think the album shows a portrayal of metanoia, a very low low leading to reevaluations of our lives. This song is certainly a continuation on the previous "I can be a frog," but then again, i can hardly tell when one song fades to another in this album. very cryptic, wonderful.
