It's Hard to Hate Someone You Understand.
He said that he understood...
But I could see in his eyes that he didn’t —
He was lying to me....!
Our vibrations were getting nasty, but why?
Was there no communication in This Car..?
Had we deteriorated to the level of Dumb Beasts...?
In the Ancient Days, Mankind built a Tower so high that it threatened to touch Heaven —
And God cursed us with
Foreign Language.
Misunderstanding
and the
Inability to Communicate
No-One (I Think) is in My Tree
Living is Easy (with Eyes-Closed)
Misunderstanding All You See
"...it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand.
He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness.
He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power.
He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to reach. And that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.

Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was.
It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water.
When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly, since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners; but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages, and causing that, through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another.
The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion ..."

LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
And this includes the China holdings?
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
And this includes the China holdings?
Laura :
Yes, sir.
As soon as you sign, you'll be the richest man in the world.
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
You're thinking,
"How is this possible?
He was the coffee boy.
He worked for me."
Laura :
Sir, I wasn't —
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
I can read your mind, Laura.
Laura :
Yes, sir.
Sorry, sir.
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
God blessed me with a gift, do you understand?
I am his chosen vessel.
I am his chosen vessel.
In the ancient days, mankind built a tower so high that it threatened to touch Heaven and God cursed us with foreign language.
Misunderstanding and the inability to communicate, but I know what's in the heart of every man, woman and child on this Earth.
Gone is the confusion, the division.
I am The Great Uniter.
Laura :
You're a saint, sir.
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
The money is a tool, you see.
Nothing more.
Power.
Because without power, who would listen?
Laura :
Sir, your sister.
Amy, The Beloved :
Excuse me.
I've been waiting.
Papers to sign.
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
Always papers.
Amy, The Beloved :
Amy, The Beloved :
Is that Laura?
Why do you keep her around?
She's ancient.
She's ancient.
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
She resents me.
I like that.
Amy, The Beloved :
I need a new house.
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
No, you •want• a new house.
Amy, The Beloved :
Harvey's screwing his masseuse.
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
So? You're screwing her, too.
Amy, The Beloved :
I •hate• it when you do that.
Huh?
[WHIMPERS.]
Stop!
LEGION,
(w. The Shadow King still in His Head) :
No more houses.
Amy, The Beloved :
Okay.
[SHUDDERS.]
[INDISTINCT MUTTERING.]
It's always blue!
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience
Seems to be
I have hours
Only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
THE KING :
[IN FARSI.] :
No one comprehends this pain
Feels this feeling
Like me
And I blame you
No one controls themselves like this
His anger
His pain
My pain and fear
Cannot be revealed
BOTH:
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience
Seems to be
I have hours
Only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
My love is vengeance.
That's never free.
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile
Tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
KING FAROUK
[ IN FARSI] :
If I am evil
[TONE RESONATES.]
- [DAVID GROANS.]
Purify me If I shiver
LEGION :
When I shiver
[ECHOING.]
Please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
[LAUGHS.]
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man, man, man, man, man
