1. Arise!

Arise!

Well we’ve all heard the sermon seen
The preachers or worshipped the stage
Heard the new manifesto? It’s all questions no solutions at all
Well, you’re out on your own now, always have been
Just look at your friends
Break the surface to daylight
Strength will flow through our unity.

There is a traitor in our midst
And when we rise we will be betrayed
They are the wolves in sheep’s clothing
Take the place at the back of the fold
All this talk about freedom
Will be tainted with blood (it’s your life)
Put this cross on your back child
Tread the long weary trail to the top of the hill

ARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES!

There’s some hard times coming down
There’s the smell of revolution on the wind
Well, we’re grinding down our axes
Telling tales round the bonfire at night
We will set out with a fire in our hearts
When this darkness gives way to the dawn
In the light we’re united as one
For the kingdom of heaven must be taken by storm!

ARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES!
STAND UP!




2. Largactyl

Largactyl

You're standing on a hill, looking down at the city
Thinking 'bout your life and your bottle of pills
They released you from the hospital, you're cured!
So this is how freedom feels?

Largactyl Relax (it's only paranoia)

Feel a little numb? Feel a little tired?
Your brain’s asleep and your body’s retired
You’ve learned to fit in. OBEY!
You’re just a shadow of what you used to be

Largactyl Relax (it's only paranoia)

A comfortable life? A car and a wife?
It’s only a dream but it’s fuckin’ obscene
You’ve learned to fit in, a vegetable!
Senility! At 21 they’ll be coming for you




3. Drink and be Merry

Drink and be Merry

Drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die
It’s better to laugh than it is to cry
My cup runneth over with blood and not wine
The last was the flood, it’s fire this time

I took a walk on the beach, no sand dunes just oil
Dead gulls and dead fish were trod underfoot
The sky was tinted with yellow and black
And the air smelt like Dachou today

The fields were littered with the dying and dead
Nothing grows here but decay!
The village bell tolls, a priest vomits blood
Another life’s wasted away

Down in the square, the party goes on
The doomed sit down to their last feast
They gorge themselves on the recently deceased
The heat of the day, the foul smell of decay
As they wait…. For the inferno to be
UNLEASHED!

So drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die
It’s better to laugh than it is to cry
Live for life’s sake, don’t let life pass you by
There’s more worth living for than meets the eye

So drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die!




4. Fallen From Grace

Fallen From Grace

The wind of change transformed the plains into the desert
And on the lower levels demons scream delight
Places of worship have ceased to serve the purpose
The age of reason took a ride into the night
Where there were idols there is idleness
Unholy churches light their fires upon the moor
They sealed the pact with blood and honour
The machine spits blood and lurches into war

Chorus:
We have fallen, it leaves such an embittered taste
Erectus is now crawling, we have fallen from grace

There is a black tree in the wilderness
Older than time itself and riddled with disease
It feeds on clotted blood and rotting flesh
The hunger we all seem too willing to appease
When all before you lose their heads into the block
When e'en the proudest bend their knees before the flock
They seek salvation in the depths of madmen's eyes
Knee deep in blood and gore they look toward the skies

They sought the means by which to transform the gods
Burnt the books, created death camps on the way
A new religion from the ashes of the old
A social order one of masters and slaves
They dreamt of everyman, we merely have regressed
Into the animal that can't perceive the will
Look at the embryo, so twisted and grotesque
This is your superman, the legacy to kill

Chorus:
We have fallen, the losers in the human race
Erectus is now crawling, we have fallen from grace




5. Axeman

Axeman

Lock up your children the axeman is coming
Lock up your children the axeman is coming
Lock up your children the axeman is running
Lock up your children he's here!

He's coming SLAUGHTER!

Is he from the army or the S.A.S.?
Rejected and shunned, left out on his own
The skills he acquired are put to the test
The tearing of flesh and the pulping of bone!

He's coming SLAUGHTER!

It's late and it's dark but one walks the streets
An axe in his hand, no glint in his eye
This mindless machine, he butcher, you meat!
Calm and collected, but twisted inside!

He is here! SLAUGHTER!




6. Spoils of Victory

Spoils of Victory

Look to the north, look to the east, look to the west and south
On all horizons storm clouds loom and roll across the sky
The river bursts its banks and vomits soil into the mouth
As thunder breaks the silence, a young child cries!

Between the night and the days first light the leaders made a pact
To raise the rotting corpse of war and set the wheels in motion
The stage a heaving battlefield would support the final act
While the authors hide in sattelites or forts beneath the ocean

And in this play We’re cast as fools
To blindly play By others’ rules

Now the dust has settled and the stench completely clear
Then return the victors to claim their wretched crown
But from the fleshheaps of the slain, there comes no cheer
Their game is over, the chips are down

You arrived like a breath from the angel of death
Famine, disease and a life on your knees, guaranteed
When you put them in power




7. I.C.B.M.

I.C.B.M.

Meatwagon come, borne on the rays of the morning sun
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

A silver express through the valley of death
A cruise over land, to turn the fertile soil to sand

Ten million bodies, maybe more
From every wound a stream of blood doth pour
We must find a way to stop the flood
Dam the river of blood!




8. The Darkest Hour

The darkest hour

My friend the time has come for us to say goodbye
So with these parting words I bid you farewell
It seems the life we led was just a shameful lie
What does the future hold? Well only time will tell

I’m not scared of dying and I don’t really care
If it’s peace you find in dying well then let my time be near
If it’s peace you find in dying when dying time is here
Bundle up my coffin, ‘cos it’s cold down there

And when I’m dead
And when I’m gone
There will be one child born
And a world will carry on

Some say our fate is sealed and help to tie the knot
Some say that this may be the lull before the storm
But there’s one piece of nature everyone’s forgot
And that’s, “The darkest hour is always before the dawn!”

When the candle burns low
When there’s no more to say
Dig me a hole
Where my body might lay
