Ween - The Rift Lyrics






There's a rift out in space, and it could be the door, but you know I'm not sure.

If you go through the rift to the palace of ice - might it be nice - is it, paradise.

I'm the commander of time in my vessel of God - I go through the rift to the palace of ice.

We may never come back from the palace of ice because the rift is a door.

  37. �.... �....

    This is Roxy music

    �.... �....

    It feels that way in this register; pitch it up a bit and I'm feeling some Ozzy in a "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" mode; Speed it up and add more complex dynamics and you have some "Angel's Egg/You"-era Gong on your hands; simply make it heavier and fuzzier and it's Hawkwind's "The Golden Void"....Ween existed at some kind of perfect nexus of arty, silly, strange, progressive rock euphoria and they extracted every drop of it they could wring out. We owe them so many hours of joy and surprise, all of us....

    There's a rift out in space
    And it could be the door
    But you know I'm not sure
    There's a rift out in space
    And it could be the door
    But you know I'm not sure

    If you go through the rift
    To the palace of ice
    Might it be nice

    I go through the rift
    To the palace of ice
    I'm the commander of time
    In my vessel of God
    I go through the rift
    To the palace of ice

    We may never come back
    From the palace of ice
    Because the rift is a door
    We may never come back
    From the palace of ice
    Because the rift is a door

    Ooh, yeah
    Ooh, yeah
    Ooh, yeah
    Ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

    There's a rift out in space
    And it could be the door
    But you know I'm not sure

    If you go through the rift
    To the palace of ice
    Might it be nice
    Is it, paradise

    I'm the commander of time
    In my vessel of God
    I go through the rift
    To the palace of ice

    We may never come back
    From the palace of ice
    Because the rift is a door

    Ooh, yeah
    Ooh, yeah
    Ooh, yeah
    Ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

  48. A.... S....

    we need to send another golden record into space with just this song on it. and mabe a pic of a palatipus or something.

    A.... S....

    If you edit your spelling of Platypus to the correct spelling, your comment will be screenshotted for my archives of tremendous YT Ween comments. Thanks.

    A.... S....

    StadiumHot he also misspelled maybe. Idk why I’m even typing this tbh, but I must also point out that the correct usage in your post would be screenshot, which is one of those words that doesn’t change when plural

    A.... S....

    Maybe aliens would finally make proper contact.

    A.... S....

    @StadiumHot man who cares it adds character (:

    A.... S....

  59. I.... G....

    The "palace of vice" is where we live as modern man, in the "land of excess." A "vessel of god" is your body and the rift is the door that enlightens you with new incites, under-standings bring forth great change to ones life.

    I.... G....

    palace of ice brother

    I.... G....

    Vice is cancer.. just saying

    B.... ....

    Benjabola i thought this was 3 minutes

    B.... ....

    I thought it was 4:51 minutes long

    B.... ....

    I thought it was endless.

  61. j.... ....

    I've been to the palace of vice.

  62. T.... ....

    in the 1960's the government was doing mind manipulation, Gwen towers, Mk ultra, sleeper cells, number stations. one of the things were the idea of UFO's to use to make people believe their was alien existence. im not ever gonna deny that aliens exist and they do. they are 99% extra dimensional. the government was hijacked by the 0.01% of the worlds elite family's and powerful people, they will do anything to make us believe things that are lies in indeed true.so who sent it? prlly not aliens.

  63. j.... c....

    So someone s stuck in the ice castles with the rift slowly closing?

  64. w.... ....

    this song is about meth, using, enjoying, and getting hooked

    w.... ....

    Back to Basom is about crack.
    Roses are Free is about abortion

  65. O.... ....

    I thought I'd give it a try, but you gave me what i needed to know.

  66. O.... ....

    Thanks for your input pattykan3.

  67. M.... G....

    no, no, no, there is no earthly replacement for ween. there are only posers who hope to rise from ween's ashes but will spend their short lived try at it floundering and withering until they crash and burn. if you hope to promote your band as a "replacement for ween" you should give up while you're ahead. btw i gave your tune "you didn't call it quits" a listen and its shit. you'd better blaze your own path because you'll never fill the brown void

  68. c.... ....

    But I don't want to never come back from the Palace of Ice: It's chilly in there!

  69. H.... ....

    @ronaldwitt good point

  70. S.... H....

    I have to say that I think they're singing "Palace of Ice". The V sound at the end of 'of' does seem to have a stop after it.

  71. A.... ....

    I love all of Ween and the album covers they has.

  72. m.... ....

    I have both top comments ;)

  73. I.... ....

    Its Ween the lyrics could be/mean anything to anyone depending on what drug you're on. Smoke more/chill out.

  74. d.... a....

    silence yourself soothsayer.

  75. w.... ....

    thats the coolest shit ive heard in years.

  76. b.... m....

    thank you for your wisdom old dood...

  77. Y.... K....

    palace of ice is much more visually and emotionally provocative than palace of vice, and it fits more with the mood of the song, in my opinion. it has a sense of permanence, and simultaneous impermanence, like the infinite revealed in what is preserved in each moment. uplifting is the sense of stilled, but endless time, like a palace of ice man!

    Y.... K....

    superman came from a palace of ice in space

    Y.... K....

    Never occurred to me that it might be "palace of vice". It makes more literal sense but I prefer "palace of ice".

  78. Y.... K....

    with marvelous polychromatic ice carvings in high relief depicting intergalactic men! ooooh yeeeaaa yeeaaaa yeaaaaa.

  79. O.... G....

    Sounds like a shamanic journey to me. ;)

  80. s.... ....

    Why not palace of Ice ? Ice looks like cristal to me, and so much good things looks like cristals :D

  81. N.... R....

    i really hope all you say is true....

  82. b.... m....

    ...or maybe the palace has the best intergalactic dado ever

  83. R.... T....

    Has anyone else noticed how they turned this one into the Roses are Free verses? Same key, same chords.

  84. t.... ....

    .....excellentè
