Peace at the break of dawn, mist on the shore
Time is healing everything, time is standing still A voice, that is singing in my head With the breeze, the waves, the sea As we start to move as one Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming - islands on my mind Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming -under a southern sky Bright are the scented flowers, many shades of green Water from the purest spring - man is finding wealth Down by the clearing in glades of fern and palm Invocations rising from servants of the Star And walk with the breeze, the waves, the earth As we move in unison All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done. All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done. |

I remember the sun beating down
Across my back The taste of olives and pleasures that You taught me And we broke bread and then we drank Cheap white wine Memories of happiness frozen for all time I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love And i remember laughing so much we cried You knew my every thought, there was Nothing i could hide We celebrated moons we marvelled at The night sky With flute and drum and pen we were Grateful for our lives I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love |

Adorations
Courage and Cowards move, heroes to ecstasy Welcomes of war and wounds, vigil and victory Structures of atoms dance, sugar towards the taster, Prey to the predator, love as we're falling down Through light and laughter flow, to dirge and death we go, Mindless processions move, lanterns of burning towns, Welcome to fray and feast, bliss in all sorrows found, Rhythms and random moves and waves of adorations. Patterns I'm finding As pain and joy and sorrow mingle. Patterns we're finding Our faces raised in adorations. Deserts are paradise, awake to genocides. Delight and suffering, these roles that we have found Nourished by food we eat, hungered by waste excrete From apes or sons of god, let every act be sacred. Patterns I'm finding As pain and joy and sorrow mingle. Patterns we're finding Our faces raised in adorations. |

Denominations of a thousand
Different deities Congregations, endless carnivals of gaiety Why should i fear? why should i cling on to anything? it's not how long long i live but how beautiful it is And i saw crying. there was turmoil in the marketplace I saw economies perpetuate the next arms race And i felt helpless and there was nothing i could say And then i noticed there's a change That's coming over me Tapping into the aeon Balance of the eco-system, Self-reliance beckons us Windmills and waterfalls, strawberries and lily ponds When skyscrapers no longer block the sun's meridian When we wake up to the whisper of the voice Tapping into the aeon |

Ten percent of the land
Is the hand that pulls the strings Be the privileged few (to have to own to hold) Power over the people yes yes Power over people Be the privileged few to have to own to hold Money property assets before lives Green gestures of a dying planet An endless debate only too late An appetite for glutony The only way is up the only way is up But when you are up you have to try and stay there So you stamp and cheat on people Champagne breakfats (rewards for the killing) And a fast waist bulging Indulging, in what you call good living But most of all there is too much fat on your heart - pig A lifestyle of cholesterol Cross collateralized cholesterol Saving what's left from profit margin For what? I'll tell you what for For some irrelevant conscience easing charity - Why? Just to justify! Just to justify! Look at this utopia A society based on solid foundations Educate our children - educate them well To feather the nest and fuck the rest (Yes yes feather thenest and fuck the rest) The waste expands (As your waist expands) While others stand at the back of the queue I mean you Still the same old security For your creature comforts Exchanging the hours of your life For the cash you've already spent Eating rubbish so you can pay the rent Table wine once a week if you'relucky In comparison Privatise the people's lives Be part of the company (or fade!) The appliance of science to privatise their lives Water is our business Electricity is our business Gas is our business Lives are our business Business is our business Your money - my time Your stinking industrial bathwater - my wine Imbalance induces hate How will you fill the gap Between the endless buffet And the scraps of food I have I feel hate I feel hate I feel hate I feel hate (Don't be afraid to show your hate, hate!) You just treat me like a commodity You didn't know I couldn't even afford to feed my family I just want to kill I just want to take a gun And put it to your head And pull the trigger |

where phantoms pass me by what secrets do they hold? flesh torn upon the wheels of human frailty part of me was fascinated by the cruelty running from the madness running from this mirror of how i feel a dream is just a shadow of something that i found real black moon bad sleep - another side of me black moon bad dreams - another side of me in the temples i am kneeling fearing god in the cinemas they are baying for some blood horror began to dawn as fear played its part the fear that cancels out the love that's in our heart all the hurt we felt repeated down the line the pain inflicted was the pain that we designed i try escaping from the person that i am here is the endless cycle break it if you can black moon bad dreams - another side of me black moon bad sleep - another side of me |

Open our eyes and tears run down I open my eyes and tears run down I look through your mind and tears run down And under the skies and tears run down. Look at our condition, stand on concrete dias Lovers frail and naked move like pawns on chessboards I had no idea, I had no conception Where have we all come from? Where are we all going? Open our eyes and tears run down I open my eyes and tears run down I look through your mind and tears run down And under the skies and tears run down. All these changes we shall witness I will try to understand Share your grief and your confusion, compassion in us cries No divine intervention, only moves on black and white Great schemes, great schemes are also made of these. Open our eyes and tears run down I open my eyes and tears run down I look through your mind and tears run down And under the skies and tears run down. |

Get up! Wake up! Someone´s taking you for a ride Get up! Wake up! Dark forces They´re printing up money That doesn´t exist Then watch the wealthy As they cash their chips Economy´s failed Start a war machine Devoid of moral cause As we witness the end Of international laws Get up! Wake up! Someone´s taking you for a ride Get up! Wake up! Dark forces I´m an inside man Of the serpent clan 33 degrees I´ll do as I please Power for power´s sake And two weeks off In bohemian grove You wanna come? All the banking houses That buy and sell They´d sell their own mother Just eat shit and die Like everyone else Get up! Wake up! Someone´s taking you for a ride Get up! Wake up! Dark forces Get up! Wake up! Someone´s taking you for a ride Get up! Wake up! Dark forces |

And finding me or them does lack accepting fate And as the moments pass another face arrives We watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds Forbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love Of lands untouched and ways to come always maybe But choking on promises meant for the deal Thinking again the darkest hour before the dawn Confirming fears that from the dawn of time have been Retracing footsteps in dark chambers of grey lands And through the madness through the terror we must pass As if awaiting sunlight that may never come In time we face ourselves with all our faults and fears Now that i know the final conflict is within I recognise the faces of my friends and hear the call "Come journey, journey with me through the darkest hour" |

Red, blue or yellow. We will blow away the green Another five lane motorway (You'll never get a referendum anyway) Funny handshakes. insider dealing Et in arcadia. arcadia ego Backhanders and salamanders A powerhouse that is morally Mechula I'm sorry democracy is changing I'm sorry democracy is changing I'm not a slogan or a badge Or a cross in the ballot box Neither values or objectives You do not represent my deepest Thoughts and wishes Education in obsolete skills Stereotyping and media projection Industrial psychologists Plan a campaign that is financed by Big business You have a choice, we are your voice Red, blue or yellow.

In the ignorance of night
As the owl is taking flight In the garden of bliss With the Black Isis Depthcharge... Depthcharge, Kali, Kali, Kali Lying in front of the box Dead as a rock The wish-fulfilling tree At the bottom of the sea Depthcharge... Depthcharge, Kali, Kali, Kali I don't see the stars Can't touch the grass I don't feel the tides Tight as Kali's smile Depthcharge... Depthcharge, Kali, Kali, Kali (No more beautiful, no more terrible) |

Outside the boundaries where all the streets are empty
In such a lonely moment we reach the same conclusion Chants of cathedral choirs, stations of iron cogs grind Primeaval screams we heard. Release cannot be found, no You'll never see that water flow You'll never see the water flowing We that have tasted such beauties of corruption Triumphal arches raised designed to fall again My kingdom and place of exile You'll never see the water flowing. Your shouts of righteousness jaded our contributions Too scared for anger, the cause without a rebel No revolutions in four four time You'll never see that water flowing. I walk down amongst the ruins and past glories shattered me Elysian decays, answers that we are finding Waters of perfection fade You'll never see the water flow You'll never see the water flow You'll never see the water flowing. |

All my brothers and comrades (Danger, danger, stranger, stranger) Come together with the sound (First one's free, pay me later) All my brothers and soulmates (Danger, danger, it's getting stranger) All hail this hallowed ground (First one's free, pay me later) Get together, come remember Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove (What's happened to Ladbroke Grove?) Carnivals and riots, immigrants and radicals (Danger, danger, stranger, stranger) Artists - no per diems (First one's free, pay me later) Carnivals and riots, immigrants and radicals (Danger, danger, it's getting stranger) Bands who've lost their dreams (First one's free, pay me later) Get together, come remember Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove (What's happened to Ladbroke Grove?) |

from Killing Joke - Brighter Than A 1000 Suns (2003)
Around the strangers moved, the shouts I felt within
New panoramas seen (I loved it as it was). Forests of pylons built, the scaffolding is raised And how the men pursue their worrk They act convinced of freedom. Crossed over by the bridge The brook was running ill. We recognised the place - places we knew as children We wept upon the sight, and progress tore our hearts Fences divide the land, homes boxed like rabbit hutches. Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village Where soil will not provide, no king and land are one Monopolise the holy ground, all that we hold as sacred No harvest moon shall rise, no valley homestead seen And now the cities never end, and how the cities stretch forever And in the morning promise me great times will come again And the homelands in our hearts will never fade away Let the legends promise me the earth shall rise again And homelands in the hearts of men shall never fade away. Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village I'll never never see my home I'll never never see my home You'll never never see your home You'll never never see your home |

Let me tell you about the hearts of my people, the core meaning of our tribe
A dream unspoken, a promised kept, the secret comes alive For all the years I've watched your back and you've watched mine We always knew the clouds would part and a golden dawn will shine And when you find yourself upon the untrodden path Remember me with a smile, a drink, a gesture or a laugh Gratitude You look at me but I've been looking at you We only were a mirror to show what you could do Oh innovator, oh enlightened scholar, play and write Rewrite the old books, rennaisance, perform new rites of light And when you find yourself upon the untrodden path Remember me with a smile, a drink, a gesture or a laugh Gratitude The wise will redefine paradise The farmer and the visionary, a village - simple lives Adapting to strange seasons in certain remote regions Where no-one has exemption from total redemption And when you find yourself upon the untrodden path Remember me with a smile, a drink, a gesture or a laugh A toast for the man who loves every hour of every day And a feast for the friends and faces met along the way Gratitude |

I am a child of folly
Now i want my way And i don't know good or bad But i dance all day And my sense of humour Getting out of hand la-la And the diamond's sharp you know All the harlequins they go go Such a lovely colour So the nasty taste won't show And when i'm seeing bitter Then the carnal feelings go So if you guess my next move Then that's more than me So when i start to smile Then the harlequins will go go I am a child of folly Now i want some fun So i don't need good or bad And we've just begun Ao if you guess our next move Let your sense of humour show And the diamonds are forever All the harlequins will go go |

World population mass has reached the critical
Humanity shall function as a single cell Machines design and clone a different race of man Who is the architect, who is the hidden hand? Kneel down and freedom's gone Speak out - something's wrong So when society breaks down in screaming insanity And when the sky cracks open Here comes the singularity Military industrial complex on the rise Let new Pearl Harbours take no-one by surprise One million people marched against a traitor's war No weapons found and no-one heard their call Kneel down and freedom's gone Speak out - something's wrong So when society breaks down in screaming insanity And when the sky cracks open Here comes the singularity Foundations and shareholders identified on lists Big corporations dismantled brick by brick Investment bankers crushed like lilies under feet Let Baboeuf and Saint-Just pass judgement from the street Kneel down and freedom's gone Speak out - something's wrong So when society breaks down in screaming insanity And when the sky cracks open Here comes the singularity Kneel down and freedom's gone |

If I expose my jealousy to you would you love me as I am
If I expose my weakness to you would you love me as I am Just another piece missing... Just another piece missing in the jigsaw puzzle If I told you of the way I amuse myself would you love me as I am If I expose the thoughts of sexual violence would you love me as I am Just another piece missing... Just another piece missing... Just another piece missing... Just another piece missing in the jigsaw puzzle Just another piece missing... Just another piece missing... Just another piece missing in the jigsaw puzzle If I expose my thoughts of sexual fantasy would you love me as I am If I told you all about the things I've done do you love me as I am Just another piece missing... Just another piece missing in the jigsaw puzzle |

Just for this moment
The glorious now Just to feel freedom Just for the sounds Shoulder to shoulder Until the end Constant companion Eternal Friend And the fire that drives us overcomes all pain And all of our struggles never been in vain As we get older - we cry, just one more sunset One more blue sky Just to hear laughter Just one more sigh One perfect gig, please Before I die And the fire that drives us overcomes all pain And all of our struggles never been in vain Spark of life, eternal spring - everlasting flame Gain to lose, lose to gain - utterly enflamed Marching into the mire - Together we will honour the fire... Just one more winter Geneva snow Just one more Christmas Before I go Just one more smile Just one more laugh Beloved mother Guiding my path And the fire that drives us overcomes all pain And all of our struggles never been in vain Spark of life eternal spring - everlasting flame Gain to lose, lose to gain - utterly enflamed Marching into the mire - Together we will honour the fire... Spark of life - eternal spring |

Silent weapons for a quiet war
Under my skin, getting under my skin All systems go Security clause Passing of laws Reality Silence, in the air Silence, in the air Acceptance Information from birth Animals are first Then man Silent weapons for a quiet war... ID Not free For me You can't escape Implant Implant to the next step You don't want to protect You just want to fucking con-trol Know my DNA, know my DNA My structure Know the movement of my day Know the movement of my day and haunts Hypnotize Hypnotize Acclimatise Fingers in control, fingers in control Silent weapons for a quiet war... ID Not free For me You can't escape Implant Everything is under con-trol Deep below the ground Deep below the ground Blasphemies Deep below the ground Deep below the ground Hypnotize Hypnotize Acclimatise Hypnotize Hypnotize Acclimatise Silent weapons for a quiet war... ID Not free For me You can't escape Implant Tear up your ID cards And stick your implant up your ass You just want to fucking control |

We come into this life in blood and tears
We leave this life in blood and tears Paranoia deepest darkest fears How beautiful the life - Yes The highs and lows of every day Laughter and screams won't go away But the total experience of it all Blows me away Implosion Mother lover child of wife Taken from us in this life My griefs is yours and yours is mine But o the gift of life is o so fine - Yes The highs and lows of every day Laughter and screams won't go away But the total experience of it all Blows me away Blows me away Blows me away Implosion Truth begins to dawn, a smile across my face Realization in a total state of grace The mines of solomon we left behind, We left behind the evils of the west Rites of light and ceremonies bright Playing this great game of life and death - Yes The highs and lows of every day Laughter and screams won't go away But the total experience of it all Blows me away Blows me away Blows me away |
