ZYGOTE LYRICS
"A Wind of Knives" (1991)
1. Motion 2. Scarred 3. In the Red 4. Behold the Man 5. We Are Tomorrow 6. Here Come
1. Motion
Motion
Nothing to block this, this eternal instinct
The shape of a bloody mouth and an eye that peels pretence
The only flesh I will eat, the only thing I can give away
Sliding on lotion
Freedom thru' motion
I close on things I've never known before
To mould in a way so old, we rip an outline in red
The elements our bed
I am yours for you and your sores
Slide in lotion
Freedom thru' motion
Surrender to an instinct arcane
We're animals, animals in animal skins
Closer to a secret enlightened thru' the insane
A touch of lips on honeysuckle hips
2. Scarred
Scarred
She's 5, she screams and cries
The man made her bleed inside
She wandered far from home
She's lost and all alone
Outside it's bright and sunny
Inside it's sick and funny
He sticks it in... his face is strange
He sticks it in... the blood the pain
He sticks it in... why wont he stop
He sticks it in... the fear and shame
Skin splits skin again...
"You can call me uncle just for the afternoon"
As he drags her sobbing to the centre of the room
The man on the wall with a small moustache
And crosses with bent ends
Black and white hungry faces
Say come and meet some of my friends
3. In the Red
In the Red
Do you want my hi-fi or do you want my heart
Your life based on aquisition
You have no heart
Save you save for your life
Save yourself for a pretty wife
A wallet full of God and a heart empty of hope
Don't know what you're doing
Sucking too much coke
Adoration of paper adoration of coin
Adoration, Adoration, Adoration of pain
Crush your craving fuck all that saving
The crap on your credit put your head in edit
4. Behold the Man
Behold the Man
I am the diceman
Randomatics are my kick
I've got to roll those dice to live
People call me a lunatic
Morals hung out the window
And I have cut the rope
One minute I'm a rapist
Next minute I'm the pope
Let the dice decide
My fate is in their hands
I no longer care
Which way up they land
Every day I wonder
Who I really am
But it no longer matters
Behold the Man
Who am I to question the dice
Let the dice decide
5. We Are Tomorrow
We Are Tomorrow
There's muties like us
In every town
And all the slaves of slaves
Got try to put us down
The new-age witch hunt
It's not faraway
Their fear and ignorance
Is getting closer every day
The legacy is ours
Their pain and sorrow
But we have the power
We are tomorrow
We are tomorrow
6. Here Come
Here Come
Running through the dead zones
Around the darkway
Shifting and formless
A Vacumn in raw power
Keeping just to the edge in places unlit
Keeping just to the edge in places unknown
Taking the weak and the old
The hopeless and the insane
The young and the stupid
Here come
Bloody amoral animal
Our blue-black unknown nemesis
Pushing in silent malevolence
Retribution in death narcotic
Sucking the light and closing the distance
Here come
Revelation
