This is written in the dark days
When there is evil in the air
We have waited a thousand years
For this eternal night
This awesome dusk
Of the last human day
The imminence of apocalypse
Rightfully seeds our dreams
At least one thousand years
For this eternal night
This awesome dusk
Of the last human day
I think the look of the world is a lie
A grotesque fucking face made up
Over graves and fiery depths
And nothing else is true
This wretched fucking world is a lie
And nothing else is fucking true
But what is horrible
But what is horrible

Saigon, Vietnam 1963
Elderly Buddhist monk sets himself ablaze
Suicide as protest to the Diem regime
Complicit in U.S./French hegemony
D.C., Pentagon 1965
32 year old pacifist, father of three
Douses himself with gallons of kerosene
Under the window of McNamara
Detroit, Michigan 1965
82 year old woman burns herself to death
Despondent with the horrors of the war in Indochina
Charred bones thrown into the cogs of Apparatus
With great guns and reater hate
This beast thought itself equal to the force of life
Some say Apparatus cannot be stopped
Some say Apparatus cannot be stopped
Some say Apparatus cannot be stopped
One swallows dry and takes a chance
Defeat of the global American Empire
By a revolution of peasants abroad
And astonishing protest at home
‚War is the health of the state‘
And this Apparatus hungers for flesh
Those who threw themselves into that machine
Slippery with foam and blood
Choking the hangman with noose drawn taut
Made the gallows as holy as the cross
Some say Apparatus cannot be stopped
But one swallows dry and takes a chance.

On the wall someone chalked „THEY WANT A WAR“,
The person who wrote it has already fallen
Those who eat their fill will speak to the hungry
Of wonderful times to come
When they speak of peace War is coming
When they speak of love Hatred is coming
When they speak of life Death is coming
When they speak of hope The end is coming
On the wall someone chalked „THEY WANT A WAR“,
The person who wrote it has already fallen
Those at the top say „this way to glory“
Those down below say „this way to the grave“
When they speak of peace War is coming
When they speak of love Hatred is coming
When they speak of life Death is coming
When they speak of hope The end is coming
On the wall someone chalked „THEY WANT A WAR“
