Conceptually "Headless Cult" ponders if a cult can exist without a leader. Indeed, Moose Cult is founded on logic and reason, as opposed to every other culture on the planet which has evolved from crazy rituals and traditions no longer fit for purpose.

Leaders of fringe collectives branded "cults" are usually megalomaniac dickheads, whereas any movement will function, in the long term, better as a set of ideals.

Don't ask me why it has a disco influence. Perhaps that was the most evil cult of all.

Lyrics:
There is logic in nihilism
Willing to embrace destruction

Cannot be definite error to provide a way to process the terror
Of the gravest threat to stable survival
Embody the fix, under charge of a headless cult

No one vision aligns to date
Honesty and truth would converge on fate

A healthy dose of misanthropy for navigating the complexity of change

Freeing deflection, seek the exception
Balancing force and recalibration
No secret key, held for a chosen few
Trust in that, that much is true
In the darkest hour, even on the scale of man
Embody the fix, benevolent headless cult

Headless cult, unreachable ideal
