Toxins
01:15
|
|||
|
A creeping shadow that I can't see
Another black spot infecting me
A dormant sleeping, breathless, distant curse
A thousand leeches
A hundred cups
A dozen cuttings
When will I suffer enough
A plague of locusts
A cloud of gas
Bring the horsemen
I have suffered enough
Give me chemicals
Give me toxins
Give me poison to silence my brain
Give me medicine
Give me waste
Give me anything to stop all this pain
Dripping silence
Fluorescent veins
Rotten on the inside
Pallid and frail
Sick of sympathy
Lacking hope
Craving the end
I have suffered enough

Safe Inside
01:27
|
|||
|
Lock all the doors
Knock off the lights
Cover your eyes
You’ll be safe inside
Ignore the stats
Forget the facts
Gloss over the truth
Dismiss any proof
Does it feel safe? Does it feel warm? Does it feel safe inside?
What can you see?
As you stare straight ahead
Do you peer round the bend?
Can you see the, I can’t see the, can you see the end?
|

Watchful Eye
00:43
|
|||
|
You’re in their sights
Their watchful eye
All your life
Watching your every move
There’s no escape
Your choice is made
You have no say
No place that you can feel safe

Icons
00:57
|
|||
|
I heard a song, you wrote an opera
I learned new words, you wrote an opus
I paddled shallows, you calmed an ocean
I made you gifts, you gave me chaos in a jar
I slept a day, you slept forever and ever
I slept a day and you slept until I'd gone away
I wandered fields, you flew the skies
I found a friend, you became an icon in your head
|

I Repent
00:41
|
|||
|
Will I regret?
All that I said
Eat all my words
On my death bed
Look beyond reason / Stop being a heathen
Will I repent?
Lifetime misspent
Beg to the lord
Or die by the sword
Look beyond reason / Stop being a heathen
As my body turns cold
Will I still feel so bold?
As the fear takes hold
Will I pledge my soul?

Tin Man
00:37
|

|
Tin Man, Tin Man
Walks down the street, Tin in his hand
Tin Man, Tin Man
Stumbles down that yellow brick road
Only life he’s ever known
Checked out on life and succumbed to his vice
Tin Man, Tin Man
No heart and no soul, just wants his tin cold
Tin Man, Tin Man
Happy when he’s all alone
Only life he’s ever known
Content with his lot, yet the people still mock
Tin Man, Tin Man
Nihilist man, swiggin’ his can
Tin Man, Tin Man
Having the time of his life
We should all take his advice
Hop and a skip. Taking a sip
Tin Man

Shut Up About the Sun
00:51
|
|||
|
Absent the sun
and the minerals we've farmed
particles we've hammered flat
Falling down
Circling the solar
system way off course
drifting into darkness
As human beings
We are a fucking virus
Devoid of decency
No-one can fucking save us
I am a human being
And I'm a fucking virus
Absent the sun
And falling into blackness
Circling the solar
system way off course
drifting into darkness

Obedient Dog
01:56
|
|||
|
Firm hand of the master. Keeps you in your place
Careful what you ask for. Smacked in the face
You can’t get away. Chained up on your leash
Weeks of good behaviour. Begging for a treat
Obedient Dog
Is this all pretend? Are you man’s best friend?
Ready to roll over. Do it all again
Daddy’s little pet. Always keen to fetch
Control in the hand. One that keeps you fed
Obedient Dog
Eager to obey
Sit, Beg, Stay
If you want reward
Just sit there and wait
Obedient Dog

Try Praying
00:57
|
|||
|
Saw an ad the other day
Telling me that I should pray
Thought “what the hell” what’s left to lose
God can clear away my blues
Sent my woes off to the sky
Two weeks later, no reply
I’m calling. We’re screaming
World’s still burning to its core
Got your name off a billboard
I’m begging can you help me lord
Is this not right I’m on my knees
Begging can you help me please
Stop killing children in our seas

Monster
00:48
|
|||
|
Temptation, can’t stay away
Wants become needs, back every day
Monster to feed, looking a state
Can’t be alone, keeps you awake
So absorbing, taps in the brain
Try ignoring, niggling away
No controlling, become a slave
Try ignoring but it won’t go away
Tensions, becoming strained
Repeating, emotionally drained
Captured. there’s no escape
Can’t run away from a prison you made
|

Coercive Control
00:46
|
|||
|
We're all standing in the same space
and we're all looking in the same way
Teaching us to learn to hate
Until no-one fucking feels safe
Over and over again
and over and over again and again
Over and over again
Over and all fucking over again
Reading all these hateful things
Staring at our hate filled screens
Teaching us to learn to hate
Until no-one fucking feels safe
Over and over again
and over and over again and again
Over and over again
Over and all fucking over again
Submission / Coercive Control

Stand Down
01:05
|
|||
|
Wasn’t okay. Back in your day
Having a laugh. Watch what you say
We won’t tolerate
Childish display
Put up too long
Won’t stand today
Work won’t be done. Til we all feel safe
Roy Chubby Brown, get the fuck off the stage
Not funny then
Not funny now
Exit the stage, don’t take a bow

History Time
01:07
|
|||
|
Smash the past and throw it all away
Start from scratch and do it all again
Won’t forget the scars are here to stay
There just ain’t the need to celebrate
History in the making
Time we made some changes
It’s still possible to educate
Without a slap across the fucking face
Shameful past will never be erased
We all remember what you did to slaves
When it all comes crashing down
The sound is heard for miles around
A tale that echoes through the age
About the day that statue drowned

Aftermath I
01:53
|
|||
|
Here once stood the great
Monument takes its place
Out of the waste
Nothing left but graves
Memories won’t replace
Generations slayed
Millions enslaved
All for corporate gain
World’s no better off
Unimaginable cost
No one’s won a thing
Everything is lost
|
||||
16. |
Aftermath II
00:37
|
|||
|
Victoryless Heroes
Heartbroken Widows
Left feeling hollow
Can’t see a tomorrow
Irreparable damage
Caused for your advantage
Plague has hit the world
All signs of life have vanished

If Motorhead had played hardcore I guess it could have sounded something like this. Awesome stuff, warts and all.

Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.
