Carnage Sing to your sisters, your brothers are dead The army retreated, the soldiers have fled The carcass of nations lies out on the plain For many to question but none to explain Such carnage, destruction They came in their thousands, to die for belief In a guardian of freedom, once branded a thief Led to their slaughter, to fight for their wife Trapped by a system that demands only life Such carnage, destruction The corpses are buried the day may yet come When man reaps the land with a plough not a gun The sorrow of millions will be buried with them That demanded the death not the life of those men Such carnage, destruction

Curfew Take your chance, uphold your victor Go with the crowd and suck with them too We don't believe in you Have you heard the new sounds Of battle on the streets Have you seen the army uniforms Heard the sound of marching feet Sitting in your bunker With your radio on Follow these instructions Or take your chances with the bomb

Belief Have you ever watched them as they gather there on Sundays In grotesque clothes as tokens of esteem And stoop beneath the musty pulpit, ready to submit Their bodies and their souls to the machine Its normal to submit To feed the holy leach To sell yourself to slavery To believe in what they preach The smell of the church lies like guilt upon their shoulders Oppressive silence dulls the brain, accept Kneel in repentance you will accept our doctrine And share in all the relics we have kept People must believe in ways to eliminate their freedom The church is just like bondage of the brain Its frightening to realise what's happening outside Obscure the view with Christ on coloured panes
