akira the don - the functions lyrics

Loading...

now there have been
in the past
200 years
a great, great many
investigations and researches
some of them very
pious
some of them
very
cynical
of the religions of the world
and certain
quite constant
motives
basic themes
have come out
throughout the whole field
these universals
these continually recurring
themes

also, in each of the various areas
there are quite special
particular inflections
quite different
from those in
other areas
that is to say, we have this spectacle of
continuity
and consistency
and at the same time
differentiation
i want to speak tonight in a very general way
to
the main
problems
that these situations
and these observations
bring up

[chorus]
what are the functions
the human functions
served by mythologies
what are the functions
the human functions
served by mythologies
by symbolic forms
which
have been served
for 200,000 years
200,000 years

and have sustained the race
even on the simplest level
and even on
the levels of the highest cultures
we all know the greatest
monuments
the greatest
architectural
and
art
monuments
are in celebration of these mysteries
i don’t care where you turn
these are the things
we now
go by jet
to see

[chorus]
what are the functions
the human functions
served by mythologies
what are the functions
the human functions
served by mythologies
by symbolic forms
which
have been served
for 200,000 years
200,000 years

what are the functions
the human functions
served by mythologies
what are the functions
the human functions
served by mythologies
by symbolic forms
which
have been served
for 200,000 years
200,000 years
