Skyclad - Gammadion Seed Lyrics
The devil's circus came to town - we watched the freaks arrive en masseWhen they paraded through our streets, we turned a blind eye as they passedSafe in the comfort of our homes we all forget the need to fearThis is the new "new Jerusalem" and it could never happenHear the cries as freedom dies - the gods of war have wokenA Catherine wheel of fire and steel, the death machine in motion.The Gammadion Seed - draw the curtains, live in fearThe Gammadion Seed - watch your neighbours disappearThe Gammadion Seed - if you're too slow to realiseThe Gammadion Seed - then Gammadion will rise.Five years pass by - unnoticed change, their glamour has us in it's graspBut now the walls have eyes and ears - questions too dangerous to askNew state controlled T.V. and press - for reasons suddenly unclearThis is the European dream so nothing bad can happenHear the cries as freedom dies - the gods of war have wokenA Catherine Wheel of fire and steel, the death machine in motion.Now the first among equals are chosen at birthYour outward appearance is all that you're worthThey came for the black man and then for the JewThey've done with the gypsies - all that leaves is you!Behind the painted greasepaint smiles - hide faces rarely known to grinMen who will feed you to the lions for having different thoughts or skinAnd when we realise that we've made a state to last a thousand yearsOur pleas for help will not be heard, because there's no-one left to...Hear the cries as freedom dies - the gods of war have wokenA Catherine Wheel of fire and steel, the death machine in motion.The Gammadion Seed - draw the curtains, live in fearThe Gammadion Seed - watch your neighbours disappearThe Gammadion Seed - if you're too slow to realiseThe Gammadion Seed - then Gammadion will rise
