1.
SPARE A THOUGHT Tell it how it should be told Sell it how it should be sold All wrapped up in a fancy name Lambs to the slaughter, you play their game You pay a wad for a designer label But where's the food on your fuckin' table? So what if it looks like a pile of shite You paid the earth it must be all right What it really costs you'll never know To sew a name tag just for show To be the first in all the trends To see the envy of all your friends In sweat shops kids work till they drop But they need to eat they cannot stop So next time you laugh at what isn't named Spare a thought and be very ashamed No Great Claim To Fame Hidden Behind Every Name
2.
Without Consent What do you see when you close your eyes? What do you hear when you sleep at night? What horrors intrude into your dreams? What carnage breeds a thousand screams? For all the trophies that you've often kept Families grieved and mothers wept In tiny graves the truth was sealed In a sterile lab your conscience healed In the name of science, for medical good You greased your palms in infants' blood Slice by slice your scalpel rolls Rest in pieces little souls
3.
The Nightmare Seconds of an Endless Time A crawling filth of desolation Sweeps across a zombie nation An evil omen in every cloud Enveloped in a tattered shroud No gods will walk on hallowed earth No saints predict the coming dirth Apocalyptic signs bring fear Total oblivion is drawing near No fault of plague or flood or flame Nature's cleansers aren't to blame Day by day the blood rains down In mans own greed we slowly drown Just feed the fire and watch it burn 'Cos one day soon the tide will turn All wrapped up in blinkered eyes Stand and watch the death toll rise The Nightmare Seconds of an Endless Time No Forgiveness No Salvation
4.
Religious Dogma Open your mouth to shit not speak I hate your morality for you are weak Condemning others for being their way I can't condone these games you play You take the words of an ancient book as law As you declare yet another fucking war Well answer me this is you can or will Why does your bible say thou shall not kill? You're in too deep so watch what you say Because the stronger minded will have their day Cower in fear and pray to the higher You'll be nailed to the cross just like your messiah The eternal paradise I doubt you'll ever see As you're more the hypocrite than me And if I'm wrong then so be it I refuse to be part of this bullshit Preacher you can go to hell I'll never do what you tell Try so hard to enforce your rules Pushing that crap on ignorant fools
5.
APATHY AND FEAR I wake up to face yet another day Where people walk by with empty stares No thought for each other Only ignorance and greed Afraid to speak for fear of reprisals No love can be expressed just shadows fade away From near or distant the reality obscene All I hear are desperate cries for freedom or release Absorbing into my soul and suffocating my mind Fear to communicate segregates man from man Even a kind word can fuel a rage beyond reason The old and the frail may fall to their knees No one wants to know as they cry and plead Too busy with their own self-centred numb existence If only we took time out to communicate together There would be no need to distinguish good from bad Don't be complacent 'cos life's to short to have hate
6.
Arise (AMEBIX) 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!
7.
Existence Declines Flying in the face of death Just waiting for your final breath No faith left no god to behold Too late now your souls are sold On poisoned ground we wait our turn Avarice thrives and cities burn No safe haven no retreat Chaos reigns on every street Damnation on the lips of sinners In the end they'll be no winners Evil breeds and rears its head Corrupt and vile the word is dead Hallowed Be Thy Name Shallow Be Thy Grave Planet Be Thy Jailer What's Left To Fuckin Save
8.
Gung Ho Heroes Can you imagine what's being done? The intricate web of deceit's been spun The winds of change are being blown The seeds of greed are slowly sown When the powers that be give the order to kill Consequences could be the bitterest pill So now who's really got the upper hand It takes more than one monster to destroy a land They walk in the valley of the shadow of death The path is now paved so don't hold your breath Will our stiff upper lips send us back in again? Yes, to refuse would need half a brain Gung Ho Heroes, Look What You've Done Played Like A Fiddle for One Twat on the Run
9.
TWO FACES OF EVIL Beware the bogeyman Watch out for the beasts They'll steal your child On his trust they will feast They'll tell him all's fine With a promise to play While all alone On his fear they will prey Can you always remember? Where they are every day Does anyone watch them? The kids out to play Some parents get to remember 'Cos the day they came Their lives fell apart And were never the same How long will it take? For their urges to rise How soon will it be? Till another child dies How many more infants Will die in great pain You let them go free Are you fucking insane? No Child Is Safe When Deviance Is Free To Go Once More On A Killing Spree
10.
DESPERATE MEASURES Frightened by your sanity Crippled by your fear Staring down an endless road It's madness that you hear Hearing phantom voices Raging in your head Telling you to end it You might as well be dead Are people staring at you? Or is it in your mind It's just the medication It leaves your system blind Their ignorance of anguish Their failure to protect Leaves you broke and dangling With a noose around your neck Desperate Measures Desperate Minds
11.
EMPTY GESTURES You speak but your not heard A curtain of don't give a shit A constantly sucking void Ripping at your wasted words You see but feel so blind A narrow vision like a blinkered horse An agonising empty suction Taking your eyes back to oblivion You hear but can't make sense Convenient deafness is all too much Silent screaming takes your ears Like listening to a silent gaping mouth No Sense or Sensibility No Point in Even Trying You Find It Hard to Face Reality When All This Shit Is Just Normality
12.
UNHEARD CRIES How can this happen it's hard to believe No one to turn to, no sign of reprieve His home is a prison; there is no escape How can he stop the fists and the rape? Who does he turn to? who does he tell He lives everyday in his own private hell Why does it happen, what has he done A living punchbag for his parents sick fun He's told to keep quiet and be a good lad He thinks it's his fault, he must be so bad He suffers the beast who comes in the night To scared to protest or put up a fight He can't take the onslaught; he gives up and dies The truth gets discovered and everyone cries Abused and battered since he was in the womb Born to be beaten inscribed on his tomb Total Lack of Vigilance An Epitaph of Ignorance
