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 drums
Oh, 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 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
Oh, beloved woman of liberty
Come to me
Everything I'm taught
Amounts to nought
Everything I learn
The fire shall burn
Notions of myself
That 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
Oh, beloved woman of liberty
Come to me
Burn away all my impurities
Hold me in your arms
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
Oh, beloved woman of liberty
Hold me in your arms
Total Invasion
[Sample – girl's voice]:
As far as trying to go up against the goverment,
Well just, unless the whole country did it, I guess...
Now, you listen to me
Just enough water
For one third of 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
Were 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
Asteroid
And the 3rd 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
Never shoot me down
Days turn 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 turn 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 hole
And I climb to the mountain
Light to dark
Behind time and space
A hole in your Ark
Days turn 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

Blood On Your Hands
When the summer fails us
And the rain, 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
Oh, executioner, a tone 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 thunderflash
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
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
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
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
Take orders
This is the life
Don't comply
This is the end of nation's borders
These are the fears I'm trying to hide
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
Bang!
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 a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
Bang!
Some conspiracy theorists say
Great danger awaits those
Who get to close to the truth
About the secret rulers of the world
I'm an urban animal
One step from a cannibal
I'm an urban animal
One step from a cannibal
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
I'm a loose cannon, I'm a loose cannon
Bang!
You'll Never Get To Me
Sea of hurt
I feel a wave of pain
And now the tides
Come in again
I'm caught in vicious cycle of despair
Give me the courage to face another day
Oh!
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
Time for celebration, oh!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I sat in silence
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
Time for celebration, oh!
Overcome with a sense of elation
We drank and smoked and talked until the dawn
Shared our problems and our food
Telling tales of courage and resolution
Through all the hardships we've endured
Oh!
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
Time for celebration, oh!
Overcome with a sense of elation
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 the 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 color is
RED, RED, RED, RED
When you hear the sound of warning
When the only color is
Red sky in the morning
Everywhere I'm seeing
RED, RED, RED, RED
Dawn brings a day of hell
That we pawn and sell
A single magpie in a 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 color is
RED, RED, RED, RED
When you hear the sound of warning
When the only color is
Red sky in the morning
Everywhere I'm seeing
RED, RED, RED, 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
Of what you mean to me
When you hear the sound of warning
When the only color is
RED, RED, RED, RED
When you hear the sound of warning
When the only color is
Red sky in the morning
Everywhere I'm seeing
RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED
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 see
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 a inside man
Of the serpent clan
33 degrees
I'll do as I please
Power for power's sake
And 2 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
The House That Pain Built
My faith
And my love
But howl, howl, howl the pain
My faith
And my blood
Oh, why, why, wild insane
My faith
And my people
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, I'm manic so...
And when you need catharsis
Because it's how you're made, you know
And when you need absolving
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain
My faith
And my love
But howl, howl, howl, the pain
My faith
Yes, my own will
Oh, see me through this pain
My faith
In my blood
And flow right through my vein
My 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
Because it's how you're made, you know
And when you need absolving
Don't ask how
But come into my house
Of pain
My faith
And my love
But 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, I'm manic so...
And when you need catharsis
Because it's how you're made, you know
And when you need absolving
Don't ask how
But come into my house
Of pain
And when you need catharsis
Because it's how you're made, you know
And when you need absolving
Don't ask how
But come into my house
Of pain
Inferno
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 just offer 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
Eyeing 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
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
Zennon
Zennon
Zennon
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
Zennon
Zennon
Zennon
But in the sadness that pierces my heart
Seeds we sow
And in the end all we have is each other
Zennon
Zennon
Zennon
Zennon
