KILLING JOKE LYRICS

1. The Death & Resurrection Show

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
Ezekiel'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 I'm taught, amounts to nought
Everything I learn, the fire shall burn
Notions of myself that when I'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
Ezekiel'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 Women of Liberty
Hold me in your arms

2. Total Invasion

as far as trying to go up
against the government,
well, unless the whole country
did it, I guess..
Now you listen to me..
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 realize it
won't be told that empires run on the old black gold
It's a global abrasion
it's conflagration
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
the western way
It's a Fucking Crusade
A Lesson In Trade
So all you intellectuals
We're gonna invade
It's a global abrasion
it's conflagration
united nations
it's a total invasion
Mexico city
24 million people
half a litre a day
is their ration
The final push
the last battle
Eden restored
man is cattle
we want your oil
we want your land
we'll take your wealth
you'll have much less
we'll change your god
to the bitch goddess.
It's a global abrasion
it's conflagration
united nations
it's a total invasion
It's a global abrasion
it's conflagration
united nations
it's a total invasion

3. Asteroid

And the Third Angel sounded
And a star fell from heaven
Burning as it were a lamp
And it fell upon the third 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
Five seconds till it hits us
Three seconds to ground
One second to...

Asteroid
Asteroid
Coming in from the void

On the bed of the ocean
Where history lies
Strange civilisations
Vapourised

Days turns to minutes
Five seconds till it hits us
Three seconds to ground
One second to...

Asteroid
Asteroid
Coming in from the void

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
Five seconds till it hits us
Three seconds to ground
One second to...

Asteroid
Asteroid
Asteroid

I'm a ball of fire
Fire from heaven
Asteroid
Coming in from the void

I'm a ball of fire
Fire from heaven
Terror from nowhere
Never shoot me down

Asteroid
Never shoot me down

4. Implant

Silent weapons for a quiet war
Under my skin, getting under my skin

security clause
passing of laws

Silent weapons for a quiet war...

5. Blood On Your Hands

When the summer fails us
and the rains it rains so hard oh...
when the rivers overflow
and a wave runs over prague oh..
poison the waters so
that only G.M. crops grow
5 Corporations
earn more than
46 nations
You've got blood on your hands
You've got blood on your hands
Corruption at the highest levels
Man made hell and a
man made Devil
You've got blood on your hands
You've got blood on your hands
Behind a coat of arms and gilded lies
know
the crown prepare the sacrifice
and she prepares to die oh
radiant and beautiful
she's taken in her prime
oh executioner Atone for
all your crimes now
Send horrors through your soul
and when it happens then you'll know
Send horrors through your soul
and when it happens then you'll know
5 Corporations
earn more than
46 nations
You've got blood on your hands
You've got blood on your hands
Corruption at the highest levels
Man made hell and a
man made Devil
You've got blood on your hands
You've got blood on your hands
Rulers seek the fossil fuel
as the poor still eat their stools oh..
and watch the thunder flash
unleashed for oil and gas oh..
Send horrors through your soul
and when it happens then you'll know
Send horrors through your soul
and when it happens then you'll know

Jacque De Molay
Turns in his grave
as Cecil Rhodes
rides out again
You've got blood on your hands
You've got blood on your hands

6. Loose Cannon

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 life
Don't comply
This is the end of nations' borders
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 fears 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

I'm an urban animal
Still a primitive man
I'm an urban animal
One step from a cannibal

I'm a loose cannon

7. 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

8. Seeing Red

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

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
when you hear the sound of warning
when the only colour is red
red sky in the morning
everywhere I'm seeing red

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

when you hear the sound of warning
when the only colour is red
red sky in the morning
everywhere I'm seeing red

9. Dark Forces

You´ll need a bit of holy water
And a little bit of knowledge
Invocation to your holy guardian angel
The great evil around

God gave man dominion
Over fowls of the air
And fish of the sea
Justification of desecration
Who wrote this madness?

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
Economy´s failed
Start a war machine
Devoid of moral cause
As we witness the end
Of international laws

Get up! Wake up!
Someone´s taking you for a ride
Get up! Wake up!
Dark forces

I´m an inside man
Of the serpent clan
33 degrees
I´ll do as I please
Power for power´s sake
And two weeks off
In bohemian grove
You wanna come?

All the banking houses
That buy and sell
They´d sell their own mother
Just eat shit and die
Like everyone else

Get up! Wake up!
Someone´s taking you for a ride
Get up! Wake up!
Dark forces

Get up! Wake up!
Someone´s taking you for a ride
Get up! Wake up!
Dark forces

10. The House That Pain Built

My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
And my blood
Oh why, why, wild insane

My faith (faith)
And my people
We'll howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
And my freedom
I'll never let it go again

Not any more
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, I'm manic, so...

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

Of pain

My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
Yes my own will
Oh, see me through this pain

My faith (faith)
In my blood
And flow right through my vein

My faith (faith)
And 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, I'm manic, so...

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

And my love
But howl, howl, howl the pain

My faith (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, I'm manic, so...

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 into my house...
Of pain

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 into my house...
Of pain

11. Inferno

[Bonus Track]

Southern countries
Come in 20 chains
When the dust picks the dust
All the things are crossed insane
And my skin, feel my skin
Getting melanoma
Scorcher scorcher
Tell me when it's over
Tell me when the nightmare's over

Drop shell bomb
Inferno
Drop shell bomb
Inferno

Brother brother kill brother now
Mother mother I'm alone
Mother mother my love is gone
What's happened at my home
Father father kill son
Cousin cousin why?
Father father ... my head
Father Father lust after my wife

Fire your home
Inferno
Drop shell bomb
Inferno

Fuckin' situation
You're a sociopath
With the best intention
Leaders that bleed us
Shit on your descendants
Eyes flying in the sky
Eye in the triangle
Talk good on the phone
Everything is wrong
And my mind turns black
And my mind turns black
And my mind turns black
Cause there's seizures in my Big Mac

Fire your home
Inferno
Drop shell bomb
Inferno
Fire your home
Inferno
Drop shell bomb
Inferno

12. Zennon

Slow the procession that moves down
The road as they mourn
Hearts that are heavy
No burden unloaded
No resolution
No retribution
The madness must stop now
No No
Whisper the dead to the living
They can't hear it's cold

But in the sadness that pierces my heart
Seeds we sow
And in the end all we have is each other
Zennon [x4]

Molded by computer archetypes
Killing is fun
Nervous the young boy his first job
He lifts up his gun
Victims of circumstance
Products of what we've begun
Wide open mouths as the killer
He knows what he's done

But in the sadness that pierces my heart
Seeds we sow
And in the end all we have is each other
Zennon [x4]

But in the sadness that pierces my heart
Seeds we sow
And in the end all we have is each other
Zennon [x4]
