about
'The Murder Game'. The opening lines of this song also came into existence during a game of Doom (20 years old and still full of inspiration. That's value for money!). The 'circle of violence' line came about on the way into work the following morning, and at that point it snowballed into the song it is today. This was also the first song I began composing the bassline for on the guitar rather than in the sequencer and I think it's fair to say that getting to grips with the instrument pushed the composition into new and interesting ways that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
lyrics
Some will call it murder
Others say they're hunting
Some say they're protecting their own kind
But in our vicious world you'll find
You sometimes have to kill
Just to keep hold of your body, soul and mind
Are we men, or are we monsters?
Careful how you choose
Are we men, or are we monsters?
What have we to lose?
No matter what the others do
We always get the blame
But in the end, we're only pawns
Inside this Murder Game.
A circle of violence, a life paid for a life
We suffer in silence, an endless loop of strife
Some live to a hundred
Some live to a thousand
And others have no limit to their span
But even with elders, just a single lucky stroke
leaves you just as dead as any mortal man
No matter what the others do
We 'Cubi get the blame
But in the end, we're only pawns
Inside this Murder Game.
A circle of violence, a life paid for a life
We suffer in silence, an endless loop of strife
The Angel hunts on Tuesday
She'd like to make you her prey
A little bit here, and a little bit there
No-one will notice and no-one will care
Come one, come all,
Come old young and new
You'll have to play the Murder Game too.
Some will call it murder
Some will call it hunting
Some say they're protecting their own kind
But in our vicious world you'll find
You sometimes have to kill
Just to keep hold of your body, soul and mind
Are we men, or are we monsters?
Careful how you choose
Are we men, or are we monsters?
What have we to lose?
And pacifism doesn't work
They'll kill you just the same
I hope one day we'll find a way
To end this Murder Game.
A circle of violence, a life paid for a life
We suffer in silence, an endless loop of strife

"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.
