Mark out the points
Build the pyre Assemble different drummers Light up the fire Put on your masks And animal skins Illumination, illumination Listen to the drums Between each beat, each beat of the drum O beloved mother of liberty Hold me in your arms Burn burn, burn brightly Burn burn, burn white heat And the day will come Before the lights go out Who will you turn to Who will you turn to Choose the crucifixion Or Osiris slain Recurring themes, time again. Illumination, illumination Burn burn, burn white heat Oh how ingenious the centuries of lies Ezekielâ??s chariots streak across the skies Holy books and history texts forget Because we know Souls are recycled in the death and Resurrection show O beloved mother of liberty Come to me Everything Iâ??m taught, amounts to nought Everything I learn, the fire shall burn Notions of myself that when Iâ??m not Whoever I was is now lost Illumination, illumination Burn burn, burn brightly Burn burn, burn white heat Oh how ingenious the centuries of lies Ezekielâ??s chariots streak across the skies Holy books and history texts forget Because we know Souls are recycled in the death and Resurrection show O beloved mother of liberty Come to me Burn away all my impurities Hold me in your arms Burn burn, burn brightly Burn burn, burn white heat 02. Total Invasion
Just enough water to ensurface the world
Oil baron running the government So I'll start a war All votes invalid Use any old lie Gonna carve up your wealth,like pumpkin pie Only fools won't realise and won't be told that empires run on the old black gold It's a global abrasion It's consecration United Nations It's a total invasion! Terrify them Complete submission This is our goal,this is our mission Destroy your customs You'll have no say We'll clothe your women in the western way I's a fucking crusade A lesson trade So all you intellectuals We're gonna invade The final push The last battle Even restored? Man is cattle We want your oil We want your land We'll take your welth You'll have much less We'll change your God to the Bitch Godess 03. Asteroid
And the 3rd Angel sounded
And a star fell from heaven Burning as it were a lamp And it fell upon the 3rd part of the waters Asteroid I'm a ball of fire Fire from heaven Terror from nowhere You'll never shoot me down Days turns to minutes 5 seconds till it hits us 3 seconds to ground 1 second to ?. Asteroid Coming in from the void On the bed of the ocean Where history lies Strange civilisations Vapourised Days turns to minutes 5 seconds till it hits us 3 seconds to ground 1 second to ?. Asteroid I.N.R.I Nature renewed by fire made whole And I climb to the mountain Light to dark Behind time and space A hole in your Ark Days turns to minutes 5 seconds till it hits us 3 seconds to ground 1 second to ?. Asteroid 04. Implant Music by Coleman/Walker/Glover/Gill Lyrics by Jaz Coleman
Silent weapons for a quiet war
Under my skin, getting under my skin All systems go Security clause, passing of laws Reality Silence in the air, silence in the air Acceptance Information from birth, animals are first Then man Silent weapons for a quiet war ID Not free For me You can't Escape Implant Implant to the next step You don't want to protect You just want to fucking control Know my DNA, know my DNA, my structure Know the movements of my day, know the movements of my day and haunts Hypnotise, hypnotise, acclimatise Fingers in control, finger in control Silent weapons for a quiet war ID Not free For me You can't Escape Implant Deep below the ground Deep below the ground Blasphemies Deep below the ground Deep below the ground Hybrids Hypnotise Acclimatise 05. Blood On Your Hands Music by Coleman/Walker/Glover/Gill Lyrics by Jaz Coleman
When the summer fails us
And the rains it rains so hard on When the rivers overflow And a wave runs over Prague Poison the waters so that only G. M crops grow CHORUS: Five corporations Earn more than forty six Nations You've got blood on your hands (2x) Corruption at the highest level Man made hell and a Man made devil You've got blood on your hands (2x) Behind a coat of arms and gilded lies - know The crown prepare the sacrifice And she prepares to die on Radiant and beautiful She's taken in her prime Oh executioner atone for All your crimes now Send horror through your soul And when it happens then You'll know It sends horror through your soul And when it happens Then you'll know CHORUS Rulers seek fossil fuel As the poor still eat their stools And watch the thunderflash Unleashed for oil and gas Send horror through your soul And when it happens then You'll know It sends horror through your soul And when it happens Then you'll know CHORUS Jacques De Molay Turns in his grave As Cecil Rhodes Rides out again You've got blood on your hands 06. Loose Cannon Music by Coleman/Walker/Glover/Gill Lyrics by Jaz Coleman
This is the way
Reprogrammed This is the way Unload This is the way Play my drum This is the stick Download This is the day Tale orders This is the lie Don't comply This is the end of nations boarders These are the fears I'm trying to hide I'm a loose cannon This is the day the sky turned green This is the day I saw in my dream These are the tears I'm trying to hide These are the tears trapped inside I'm an urban animal Still a primitive man I'm an urban animal One step from a cannibal I'm a loose cannon Bang I'm an urban animal One step from a cannibal (2x) Some conspiracy theorists say great dangers awaits those who get to close to the truth about the secret rulers of the world. I'm a loose cannon Bang 07. You'll Never Get To Me
Sea of hurt, I feel the waves of pain
And now the tide comes in again Caught in a vicious cycle of despair Give me the strength to face another day Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory I sighed and sighed as I was mourning I said sorry a thousand times I cried aloud to God for all my failings But God seemed deaf as well as blind Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory We drank and smoked and talked until the dawn We shared our problems and our food Telling tales of courage and resolution Through all the hardships we'd endured Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory 08. Seeing Red Music by Coleman/Walker/Glover/Gill Lyrics by Jaz Coleman
They're dropping bombs again
And they're doing it in your name All the rational commentaries in the papers That I read Marmalade and buttered toast And smell of sunday roast Kiss the arse of Uncle Sam Oh to be an Englishman CHORUS: When you hear the sound of warning When the only colour is red Red sky in the morning Everywhere I'm seeing red Dawn brings a day of hell hours that we pawn and sell A single magpie in the tree One for sorrow, one for me Kick it off the cliff I said Now the line fucks up my head Too late to change this mode Break all my moral codes CHORUS Running from myself again And all I feel is shame It doesn't matter where I go Everywhere still looks the same This sense of emptiness As we create this mess Self-destructive tendencies Are what you mean to me CHORUS 09. Dark Forces Music by Coleman/Walker/Glover/Gill Lyrics by Jaz Coleman
You'll need holy water
And a little bit of knowledge Invocation To your Holy Guardian Angel The great evil around God gave dominion Over fowls of the air And the fish of the sea Justification Of desecration Who wrote this madness? CHORUS: GET UP! WAKE UP! Someone's taking you for a ride GET UP! WAKE UP! Dark forces They're printing up money that doesn't exist Then watch the wealthy as they cash their chips The economy's failed start a war machine Devoid of moral cause As we witness the end Of international law CHORUS All the banking houses That buy and sell (they'd sell their own mother) Just eat shit and die like everyone else CHORUS 10. The House That Pain Built Music by Coleman/Walker/Glover/Gill Lyrics by Jaz Coleman
My faith my love
But howl howl howl the pain My faith and my blood Oh why why wild insane My faith my people We'll howl howl howl the pain My faith my freedom I'll never let it go again Not anymore I must let go And when I finally reach the point of no return I must let go because I know I'm manic I'm manic so... CHORUS: And when you need catharsis (yes) Because it's how you're made you know (yes) And when you need absolving (yes) Don't ask how But come in to my House of pain My faith and my love But howl howl howl the pain My faith yes my will Oh see my through this pain My faith in my blood And walk right through this pain My faith no reason I'll never be the same Not anymore I must let go And when I finally reach the point of no return I must let go because I know I'm manic I'm manic so... CHORUS My faith and my love We'll howl howl howl the pain My faith and my freedom I'll never let it go again Not anymore I must let go And when I finally reach the point of no return I must let go because I know I'm manic I'm manic so... CHORUS(2x) |
