Up into the kitchen of the human factory farm
It tries to scream but can’t without a tongue
One more slaughtered in the kitchen of the human factory farm
[Recipe:]
Take your body, grease it well and rip the kidneys out
The sweat must be left on the skin, the throat allowed to bleed
Prepare a stuffing, smash the jaw and jam it down the throat
Then braise your beast for two hours for a healthy, filling treat
Back in Cell Block 427 the rest don’t care if he’s missing
Two beasts fuck frantically, fearful of their slaughter
One bloated specimen rolls off its mate and proceeds with pissing
The shit drips between his legs as he pisses on his rotting daughte

Earth to ashes, buildings to dust
A radioactive burning crust
The meek shall inherit all that is left
Inherit the Earth, a living death
From the cradle to the grave
You made yourself the system’s slave
Acid rain, rocks on fire!
Poison clouds, gods a liar
There’s nothing left, for the meek
The past is gone the future is bleak
From the cradle to the grave
You made yourself the system’s slave
Evil systems, government control
Are to blame for our downfall
There’s no umbrella against the rain
Destroy the power, break your chain!

I just buried a friend
He had come to the end
But I can’t help feeling that it needn’t have been
Caught in the flak
There was no turning back
So he gave up his life for some psychopath’s dream
So we’re leaving the front
Having taken the brunt
Now we’re tired of the slaughter in some foreign land
So the leaders of the war
They fight alone on the shore
Our mutiny over they are left on the sand
We stand as one
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/amebix-lyrics/coming-home-lyrics.html]
We are an army now of many thousand strong
They stand alone
To fight for ravaged land to gain their worthless throne
Chorus:
The boys are coming home
Voiceover:
I see within my mind
A vast and lonely plain
Great armies meet in no man’s land
To clench their hands in friendship
For the first time
The dark tide is ebbing
A mass of tired humanity drifting toward the dawn
We are coming home

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!
