Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent lyrics



Tracks



01. Absolute Dissent

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Absolute dissent
I won't relent

I oppose poison water
I reject poison air
I expose poison bodies
I refuse complicity
I reject this prison planet
I reject and resent
Absolute dissent
I won't relent

I abhor space weaponization - genocidal plans
From Jeckle Island to Chemtrails
Unelected control
I reject this poison planet
I reject and resent
Absolute dissent
I won't relent

Brainwashed masses fit for fodder
Useless eaters - condemn
Eradicate the worthless breeders
I oppose, resist, foment
I reject this poison planet
I reject and resent
Absolute dissent
I won't relent

02. The Great Cull

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Thomas Malthus Eugenics are alive and kicking
Nutrients and vitamins extract from edible goods
Legislate, sick populations - a higher rate of mortality
Food code (as it's known) Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd, the great cull is coming down...

Develop virus market cure - exploit the panic
Contaminate by guile and stealth - a quick strum of the harp
Depopulate initiate - pharmaceutical companies
All fall down, all fall down, Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd, the great cull is coming down...

Most of us must die...

Instigate wars in population density centres
Maintain population below 500 million

Immunise, irradiate, deregulate all toxins
Monsanto feed, Monsanto seed - all the bees are dying
Depopulation in every nation, follow the food code
All fall down, all fall down, Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd, the great cull is coming down...

03. Fresh Fever From The Skies

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Mother, what's that light
Shining in the night?
I can't get to sleep - I'm afraid

Just above the snow there's a pale glow
Line of sight obsured - there is fear

Another shock, a firework?
Fresh fever from the skies

Markets crashing down
Nothing more than sand
Sky cracks open and I'm afraid

Change this if you can
Judgement Day at hand
When it all comes down - I'm afraid

Another shock, a firework?
Fresh fever from the skies

04. In Excelsis

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Liberty is ours to protect
The glorious pursuit of happiness
The rights of free speech by consent
The right to express discontent

The glory of freedom, simple liberties
In excelsis
The rights of man to eat and drink and breathe
In excelsis
The glory of freedom
The glory of freedom
In excelsis
In excelsis
The glorious pursuit of happiness
In excelsis
In excelsis
In excelsis
In excelsis

Liberty our common goal
Smash the cabals that control
This world is ours
We won't be sold
No profit, interest or loans

The glory of freedom, simple liberties
In excelsis
The rights of man to eat and drink and breathe
In excelsis
The glory of freedom
The glory of freedom
In excelsis
In excelsis
The glorious pursuit of happiness
In excelsis
In excelsis
In excelsis
In excelsis

The glory of freedom, simple liberties
In excelsis
The rights of man to eat and drink and breathe
In excelsis
The glory of freedom
The glory of freedom
In excelsis
In excelsis
The glorious pursuit of happiness

05. European Super State

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
I'm a Judeo-Christian morality with a
Greco-Roman intellect
It's the way we're short-wired
It's a civilising force that demands respect
-from the Baltic to the Straits of Gibraltar
A blue flag gold star sparks a brand new empire
Ours to build, ours the choice

I'm in a European Super State
Every citizen required to debate!

Why are the proud descendants of Plato
paying off more debts accommodating NATO?
We the caretakers of democracy no longer
tolerate this hypocrisy
Baltic to the Straits of Gibraltar
A blue flag gold star sparks a brand new empire
Ours to build, ours the choice

I'm in a European Super State...

Old Europe

I'm a Judeo-Christian...

06. This World Hell

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Everybody's keeping quiet
Why has it come to this?
They're using food as a weapon
Black blood, rage in the streets

This world hell. Die, long pig!

The iron hand of man is rising
And a concrete fist is calling
And an evil moon is rising
I am choking with disgust

This world hell. Die, long pig!

Draw them in with words of honey
No more pain of debts
Let us all return to nature
And we'll share out all the spoils

This world hell. Die, long pig!

And you'll never ever get to see heaven...

07. Endgame

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Western-sponsored civil wars, famine and disorder
Consolidate all currencies, erode all national borders
Mass migrations, demonstrations, voices getting louder
World Trade Center seven wasn't hit but turned to powder

Sit back, enjoy
A three-dimensional screening
Of the end of the world

Baxter's caught out sending spores
Vaccinations for the poor
Shock by shock - We're all starting to wake up
Holocaust begin to roar
Be prepared for martial law
Shock by shock - we're all starting to wake up
Endgame!

Institutions, corporations, a silent hand endorses
Measuring and quantifying all the earth's resources
Satellite technology maps all the water sources
Every acre of arable land protected by private forces.

Sit back, enjoy
A three-dimensional screening
Of the end of the world

Baxter's caught out sending spores
Vaccinations for the poor
Shock by shock - We're all starting to wake up
Holocaust begin to roar
Be prepared for martial law
Shock by shock - we're all starting to wake up
Endgame!

Correlate with population, analyse the data
Everybody's looking inside humanity's empty larder
Diversion of the rivers just to water slave plantations
Inmates who were citizens from one's proud sovereign nations

Sit back, enjoy
A three-dimensional screening
Of the end of the world

Baxter's caught out sending spores
Vaccinations for the poor
Shock by shock - We're all starting to wake up
Holocaust begin to roar
Be prepared for martial law
Shock by shock - we're all starting to wake up
Endgame!

Correlate with population, analyse the data
Everybody's looking inside humanity's empty larder
Correlate with population, analyse the data

Western-sponsored civil wars, famine and disorder
Consolidate all currencies, erode all national borders
Mass migrations, demonstrations, voices getting louder
World Trade Center seven wasn't hit but turned to powder
Endgame!

08. The Raven King

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
The raven's flown and left the tower
And Albion feels all abandoned
A desecrated cenotaph - surveillance state and
Waning choices
Guarded by warriors we knew
Guided by our ancestral voices

Let flags of black and red unfurl
Echoes of distant laughter
Confederation of the dispossessed
Fearing neither God nor master

Brother of this wretched man
I heed your call - never giving in
Watching from his perch bemused
I see him now
The spectre of the Raven King

Forever in this moment
Rejecting those who would control us
Touched by a common genius
All bound by fate and common purpose

Brother of this wretched man
I heed your call - never giving in
Watching from his perch bemused
I see him now
The spectre of the Raven King

All our lives transformed
Touched forever more
All connected
All as-one

09. Honour The Fire

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Just for this moment
The glorious now
Just to feel freedom
Just for the sounds
Shoulder to shoulder
Until the end
Constant companion
Eternal Friend

And the fire that drives us overcomes all pain
And all of our struggles never been in vain

As we get older - we cry, just one more sunset
One more blue sky
Just to hear laughter
Just one more sigh
One perfect gig, please
Before I die

And the fire that drives us overcomes all pain
And all of our struggles never been in vain

Spark of life, eternal spring - everlasting flame
Gain to lose, lose to gain - utterly enflamed
Marching into the mire -
Together we will honour the fire...

Just one more winter
Geneva snow
Just one more Christmas
Before I go
Just one more smile
Just one more laugh
Beloved mother
Guiding my path

And the fire that drives us overcomes all pain
And all of our struggles never been in vain

Spark of life eternal spring - everlasting flame
Gain to lose, lose to gain - utterly enflamed
Marching into the mire -
Together we will honour the fire...

Spark of life - eternal spring

10. Depthcharge

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
In the ignorance of night
As the owl is taking flight
In the garden of bliss
With the Black Isis

Depthcharge...
Depthcharge, Kali, Kali, Kali

Lying in front of the box
Dead as a rock
The wish-fulfilling tree
At the bottom of the sea

Depthcharge...
Depthcharge, Kali, Kali, Kali

I don't see the stars
Can't touch the grass
I don't feel the tides
Tight as Kali's smile

Depthcharge...
Depthcharge, Kali, Kali, Kali

(No more beautiful, no more terrible)

11. Here Comes The Singularity

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
World population mass has reached the critical
Humanity shall function as a single cell
Machines design and clone a different race of man
Who is the architect, who is the hidden hand?

Kneel down and freedom's gone
Speak out - something's wrong
So when society breaks down in screaming insanity
And when the sky cracks open
Here comes the singularity

Military industrial complex on the rise
Let new Pearl Harbours take no-one by surprise
One million people marched against a traitor's war
No weapons found and no-one heard their call

Kneel down and freedom's gone
Speak out - something's wrong
So when society breaks down in screaming insanity
And when the sky cracks open
Here comes the singularity

Foundations and shareholders identified on lists
Big corporations dismantled brick by brick
Investment bankers crushed like lilies under feet
Let Baboeuf and Saint-Just pass judgement from the street

Kneel down and freedom's gone
Speak out - something's wrong
So when society breaks down in screaming insanity
And when the sky cracks open
Here comes the singularity

Kneel down and freedom's gone

12. Ghosts Of Ladbroke Grove

Music & lyrics by Killing Joke
Holy water, burn my money
(Danger, danger, stranger, stranger)
Guns and bling-bling, blues shabena
(First one's free, pay me later)
All habits still die hard
(Danger, danger, it's getting stranger)

Get together, come remember
Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove
(What's happened to Ladbroke Grove?)

All my brothers and comrades
(Danger, danger, stranger, stranger)
Come together with the sound
(First one's free, pay me later)
All my brothers and soulmates
(Danger, danger, it's getting stranger)
All hail this hallowed ground
(First one's free, pay me later)

Get together, come remember
Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove
(What's happened to Ladbroke Grove?)

Carnivals and riots, immigrants and radicals
(Danger, danger, stranger, stranger)
Artists - no per diems
(First one's free, pay me later)
Carnivals and riots, immigrants and radicals
(Danger, danger, it's getting stranger)
Bands who've lost their dreams
(First one's free, pay me later)

Get together, come remember
Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove
(What's happened to Ladbroke Grove?)
