lyrics

It seems we’re heading for a third world war
so start the fire and bolt the door
head to the hills in the evening light
burn all the books that gave you rights
Medieval killers for Islamic state –
Infidels – apostates
God’s burning man at the stake again
Wiping out the human stain

THESIS: LIFE DANGEROUS
BEYOND HISTORY
THE GREAT MAN VIEW OF HISTORY
MEN ARE ANTS WITHOUT A QUEEN
TOGETHER WE ARE DESPERATE
ALONE WE ARE PSYCHOTIC
THESIS: SEPARATE
TAKE TO THE HILLS
CREATE A NEW LAND
TAKE WITH US ALL THAT IS ILL

It seems we’re heading for another new start
where there is no love and there is no art
where renaissance man has been sent to the grave
and the answers are not the ones he gave
like Luther with words nailed to the door
we right the wrongs that we’ve seen before
The way we live will set the tone
We’re no more than flesh and bone

ACTION: OUT ON A HILLSIDE
DYING OF A NEW PLAGUE
END OF DAYS
PICKING UP RELIGIOUS TRACTS
DISTRIBUTING LIES DRESSED UP AS HOPE
EVANGELISING WHILST LOADING THE HANDGUN
MAKING SURE YOU HAVE THE BULLETS TO KILL ALL OF YOUR FAMILY
WHAT IS THIS?
PSYCHOTIC STATE? SUICIDE STATE?
SEE THE WORLD CORRUPTED

It seems that love doesn’t mean a thing
When it happens far outside the ring
The dark sky signals the will of the Lord
For how we are now we weren’t before
Do you see that you must sacrifice
All that you think is good in life?
For what is your thought – but a fist to our chest –
If you don’t follow this, then what is next?

REMEDY: BANNED CHEMICALS INJECT INTO THE DEATH ROW INMATE
HOORAY FOR THE STARS AND STRIPES
BUILD NEW RESTRICTIONS
MAY YOU FOLLOW THIS DOCTRINE
OUR RULES ARE THE NEW RULES
DRESS THIS WAY. YOU MAY HAVE THREE WIVES.
MEN ARE THE RULE MAKERS
MEN ARE THE RULE BREAKERS
IN THE BACKYARD WE SET UP THE

It seems we’re heading for a third world war
so start the fire and bolt the door
head to the hills in the evening light
burn all the books that gave you rights
Medieval killers for Islamic state –
Infidels – apostates
God’s burning man at the stake again
Wiping out the human stain

RESTITUTION:
LET HE WHO DISPUTES THE NEW RELIGION
FACE HIS MAKER THIS WORLD CANNOT SUSTAIN
THE DEADLY SINS YOU MAINTAIN
MAN IS WEAK AND WILLING –
AND INTO THAT DEATH MELT HE FALLS
AND SHOULD HE SURVIVE THE PLAGUE PITS OF HIS MIND
THEN ONLY DEATH CAN SAVE HIM

It seems we’re heading for another new start
where there is no love and there is no art
where renaissance man has been sent to the grave
and the answers are not the ones he gave
like Luther with words nailed to the door
we right the wrongs that we’ve seen before
The way we live will set the tone
We’re no more than flesh and bone

It seems that love doesn’t mean a thing
When it happens far outside the ring
The dark sky signals the will of the Lord
For how we are now we weren’t before
Do you see that you must sacrifice
All that you think is good in life?
For what is your thought – but a fist to our chest –
If you don’t follow this, then what is next?

PRAYER: WE MUST HASTEN HIM ON HIS WAY
IT IS CHOSEN. IT IS SPOKEN.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WOULD SAVE THIS MAN
AND SEND HIS SOUL TO ETERNAL DAMNATION?
IN MY LONELY HOUR
I HAVE BEEN FORSAKEN
THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THE WORLD
ALL FLESH IS MOULDY – THE AIR DESTROYS US
SEXUAL DESIRES POLLUTE US
WE CANNOT ESCAPE FROM OUR BLOOD
I WILL BE A BETTER MAN. I DO NOT BELIEVE.
I MUST ESCAPE THIS PLACE.
MUST TELL THE REST OF THE WORLD WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
I AM JUST FLESH AND AS LONG AS MY FLESH REMAINS
THEN I CAN MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND
THEY CAN BREAK EVERY BONE IN MY BODY
THEY CAN LASH MY SKIN
BUT THEY WILL NOT DESTROY ME
I AM THE FLESH AND I AM BEYOND THE FLESH
I AM ALL THE DEAD AND I AM ALL THE TO BE KILLED

It seems we’re heading for a third world war
so start the fire and bolt the door
head to the hills in the evening light
burn all the books that gave you rights
Medieval killers for Islamic state –
Infidels – apostates
God’s burning man at the stake again
Wiping out the human stain

We are the long lash
we are the boneless

we are the long lash
we are the boneless
we are the long lash
we are the boneless
