Tracks



01. Requiem

Man watching city fall
The clock keeps on ticking
He doesn't know why
He's just cattle for slaughter
The requiem

When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there's nothing to say
When will it start bothering you?
The requiem

Only a hint of religion
Uncensors to its false depravity
The sound of breaking glass
This is a reflection
The requiem

02. Wardance

The atmosphere's strange
Out on the town
Music for pleasure
It's not music no more
Music to dance to
Music to move
This is music to march to
It's a war dance

A war dance

Look at the victim
Scrawled on the wall
You know the the reason

Outside the door
You got something
Nasty in your mind
Trying to get out
It's a war dance

A war dance

We walk round the pitch
Honesty is sick
Try to be honest
Look what you get
The food runs short
And then the money talks
One way out
Your premonition is correct

A war dance

03. Tomorrow's World

Picture - sent back live
Picture - the golden age
Letter - on your doorstep
Called up - for your country

Never no i don't wanna - no

Horror - don't let me go on
Mommy - they'll take his pain away
Carry us - face the music
Called up - for your country

Never no i don't wanna - no

Take - aim - and - fire

05. The Wait

My motiv's changing
Day to day
The fiery kisses
Fast decay
I look up the river
My firm thoughts down
The block they've poisoned
Gotta sit tight

The wait

Odd awakening
The silence grows
Screams outside
Distortion shows
New jump force
Bad bad billys
It's just another vine
Of distorted greed

The wait

06. Complications

See the sun turn green
From my penthouse window
It's different now
Because you got no shelter
Alienation
By experimentation
Enjoy yourself
This is the new age

Complication

Ransom the birth
Of a new destruction
It's different now
It's what we always wanted
Alienation
Self-destruct
At the count of ten

Complication

See the sun turn green
From my penthouse window
It's different now
Because you got no shelter
Alienation
Enjoy yourself
This is your new age

Complication

07. Change

You see
You feel
You know
React
You're waiting
You're waiting

Change

09. Primitive

Primitive feeling
Primitive way
Getting closer
To the primitive day
Intuition
Wherever it goes
The primitive day
The primitive way

Primitive feeling
Primitive way
Getting closer
To the primitive day
Follow the feeling
Wherever it goes
The primitive day
The primitive way
