Postal 03:46
Epiphany today, at last I can understand To oil a cloth, to take stock, to care for my redeemer At last I can understand; I am one of the broken hearted Exiled to the half reality of the call centre mentality Destined to earn shit to take shit, and all the while On bended knee, reptilian smile At last I can understand, impotent no longer At last I can understand, to take that final call To swallow it all, one last time Pump action liberation, ejaculating freedom I bring salvation; fuck your ‘rehearsed salutation’ This is something I can’t suppress Joy to me is your death Jugular gouting streams, bloody ruined limbs Dead gored heart, splattered all over your fucking flow charts Epiphany today, at last I can understand To oil a cloth, to take stock, at last I can understand I am one of the broken hearted Pump action liberation, Ejaculating freedom I bring salvation

Revisionist history, transcribe the truth This is how you will remember it, no record of blunders Glove puppet newspeak, cut and pasted in Newsweek 20 years on, where has your voice gone? Your condemnation serves only to inflame Your ignorance it has no shame The North turns right a society of blame 20 years on, where has you mind gone? Without you there would be no ‘sponsor’ For your dutiful progeny to start a war Against what you created, what you ‘liberated’ Always the same, it will never stop History bleached by the cloth Donate to posterity, pounds of flesh To be remembered currency is death Rework the globe to suit your needs Install a faith if your history dictates Rewrite the past, fill the future with lies All history; biography Holocaust denial something you abhor? Correct the facts throughout every war Swept under the carpet, no egg on your face Just for the record the world’s a better place In your quest for ‘freedom’ you never tire Arm them, train them and wait for friendly fire Always the same, it will never stop History bleached by the cloth Donate to posterity, pounds of flesh To be remembered currency is death Shoulder to shoulder we stand The mad leading the mad

Divided 03:41
60 thousand call to mass Vile indulgence after weeks of fast Feast on the flesh of the dead Intoxicated by the blood that’s been shed Dance on the graves of those who have died Piss on their legacy and spit in their eyes Told to love your history High rise cathedrals offering no sanctuary A society of hate rooted in bigotry The struggle is something I struggle to grasp In your expensive seats, bleating like sheep About a romanticised war in which you do not believe Will that be his last delivery, will that be his last fare? Will you stone that kid in the street because you don’t want her there? That is what you glorify; your game is another’s reality Headlines scream ‘atrocity’! And so it continues, every bloody day Factory ship ruining the waves, afloat on the lies that keep us all slaves Sing the songs of those who would destroy, All dreams, all hope and all your joy Kiss the feet of those who kick you down Vent your spleen for 25 pounds Never, ever learn form the past Old colours tied firmly to the mast Red, white and blue or white and green Sacrifice your all for the team

Revenge 04:50
From the trailer to the grave you’ll always be the same A visit to the tailor doesn’t really change The bitterness inside your excuse for a brain It’s your own country that has betrayed you Each and every day Humiliate those weaker than you Treat them as others treated you A cycle of abuse somehow sanctioned By uniform, stripes and commission Sordid excuse for the abuse; ‘I was only following orders’ Exactly the same as the regime before Pose beside the corpses, piss on the prisoners Dog leash, piles of shit Revenge, revenge, revenge I hope the next time you’re measured up it’s by the undertaker Revenge, revenge, revenge What do you get? Discharge, one year in jail? A hero’s welcome in Shitsville UKSA? Those who laughed are now shamefaced As leaders and followers wallow in disgrace Take trailer trash and put them in a foreign land Let slip the dogs of war on an imbecile’s command You have no power and you didn’t take a stand And now you’re horrified as decapitations Stream broadband Take the cunt out of the country, can’t take the country out of the cunt This year’s baby killers; there will be no heroes’ welcome

Gomorrah’s season ends, metaphoric fires cleanse Humanity’s sinful stench, we will banish Indulgence instead of abstinence Sing about dragons and hot winds, Are you fucking Dio with your idiot themes? Biblical torment? Don’t make us laugh We defile your puerile dogma Vital existence not spiritual pipedreams We won’t paint ourselves in a corner By pretending to be what we’re not These are our views: a message for all not the chosen few No we won’t wear your uniform and no we will not conform To your mono riff, double bass beatdowns Caps and chains, tattoos and skate shoes Casuals by another name That hole in your ear might as well be in your brain Clique creating idiots; you fucking clowns, you fucking clowns! Unity? This is a statement of intent: We just turn up and play, without any fuss Ignore all the bullshit and crush

The thief and the liar, continuing the campaign Consumed in a sea of fire, obsessed by the obscenity That the only way to keep favour is to maintain perpetual war But unlike the rest I won’t beat my chest When another perjurer sends his employers to death Lest we forget, lest we forget: The shredded tatters, human wreckage in ruins Futile massacre packed in seeping tombs Sordid annihilation, senseless extermination Atrocity is an ‘acceptable casualty’ I don’t share your sickening pride, or your tabloid brainwashed mind You uphold their power to murder; you deliver carte blanche for slaughter ‘Protest is treason!' - What more justification do they need? With their every utterance you agree: support war without reason As the petulant child smashes its cradle, cheer the fallen idols Salute the new dictators’ flag; wrap the corpses in the star spangled jack So thumb your nose at the naysayers, there’s still no Armageddon But the freedom you so fanfare is dead, your echoes of their promises are hollow Patriotic nihilism, your only instinct: follow The only way to keep favour: war

You’ve lost before you’ve begun You’re lack of confidence let’s them think they’ve won Celebrate another failure; cheer how little you have done Worthless anecdotes, self obsessed Mourning the lack of intellect you possess Idiot, contemptible waster Cut and slice you with Occam’s razor Mediocrity is to what you aspire Tell yourself it’s fine but you are the liar Fool yourself; take part in their farce Realise that you haven’t passed Talentless, lack of understanding Try to teach, or is that too demanding If it’s all so easy, then why are you imprisoned By the chip on your shoulder and your lack of ambition? Hate’s not a word to take lightly I say it to you whilst smiling

Destroy the citadel, overwhelm the infidel Unforgiving god given force, attack the corpulent half breathing corpse Wrench out the fetid drip, pour misery on the sick The afflicted the addicted, cleanse them of their sins Hate begets hate, besiege Babylon’s gates And so we are drawn to the 21st century crusade Awaken the barbarians, armour them with faith Blind them with oratory, shower them with grace Once more unto the breach, victims have nothing to teach Cultures ripped asunder, killing with unflinching belief Twin godheads kneeling, for heretics no remission Idolators with country as god, imposing their values throughout the world Religion is the weapon of mass destruction In hearts and minds a purulent infection Your god strengthens theirs, theirs strengthens yours A never ending cycle with death the only victor The reason for the misery is there is no god No paradise, no salvation, no redeemed souls living on The footprints on the beach have washed away And nothing hears your wails Dissect your gods, invade them with the truth You’re left with nothing, nothing but a book Satisfied illiterate, propagating lies Rather than die alone, construct a genocide
