Lyrics

1. TORTURE GARDEN

The industries carry on
More ash into the tender sky
The long downfall of nature
Is pushed another step

But without them we can't survive
Or so they make us belief
It's just another torture garden
Created to deceive

Now all of the creatures
Some coated in oil
(torture garden)
Are forced into a man's world
It makes my blood boil
(Torture garden)

So we're all the victims
Of this fucking society
The torture garden exists
For everything to see

Torture garden !!!


2. ANIMAL WARFARE

The millions of tortured victims
Condemned to die
In mass testing
Of products of vanity

How do you describe the people
Of this hypocrisy
Of mass desecration
Taking lives without feeling

Arise!!
Mass ignorance
Is the problem

Despise!!
Animal torture
Human perpetrators

Militant action is all it takes
To right old mistakes
The future holds peace
For all earth's beasts

But not before the murderers
Are forced to their knees
The only way:
Animal warfare

Arise!!
Mass protesters
Murder detestors

Despise!!
Animal testers
Idiot vivisectors

Animal warfare requires an animal warfare
Animal warfare requires an animal warfare!!


3. MARCH TO YOUR GRAVE

Called to serve your country
Though you might even die
You don't agree with its policies
Of degradation and conflict

Left, right
Halt, check, one two
Left, right
Halt, check, one two
March to your grave!!

Now you're in the infantry
Fighting on the front line
Knowing your next step
Could easily be your last

Napalm, bomb, destroy
Shoot, maim, kill
Stab, slice, disfigure
No more war

And now your wife and kids
Sit at home and wonder
If you're going to be
The next victim of militant society

Napalm, bomb, destroy
Shoot, maim, kill
Stab, slice, disfigure
No more war

Man will never
Learn not to kill
Power will always
Abuse man's will

So as the eternal war
Rages through your heart and mind
The enemy advances without sparing you
As you die you start to think
Of your march to your grave
When they find your decaying corps
And the world lies in ruins
Your son begins the march to his grave

Left, right
Halt, check, one two
Left, right
Halt, check, one two
March to your grave!!

It's the war to end all wars
The perversity to end all life
The end of the planet earth
So end conscription now!!


4. WHERE IS HE NOW

Can you hear the cries
Coming from the gas chambers
Proof to me
There is no God

Listen to the sound
Of the soldiers' marching feet
How can there be a God?

Blind faith gets you nowhere
It's an alternative to action
"Jesus will fix everything,
When he comes again"

If he is our saviour
How came he's done no saving?
What about auschwitz
Why didn't he save them?

"Thou shalt not kill"
Says the bible
Whilst starting another war
With its bullshit religion

Your church says one thing
Then does the other
"Peace and love" you say
But armed man guard the vatican

Will you pray to your God
When you see the mushroom cloud?
Do you think he will save you?

When the acid rain falls
Where is your "saviour"?
When we choke on the air
Where is he?

Where are your miracles now?
Now when we need them?
Believe in him if you want
But think for yourself...

Then act!!!


5. MULTINATIONAL SHIT

In every corner of the world
On every land of this planet
At least one multinational stands
To exploit the people and rape the land

All the talk of south africa
Sanctions in name of human rights
But what nobody will ever see
Only the blacks live in poverty

Multinational shit
Ecocide - genocide
Multinational shit
The starving side

So no blacks can't afford to eat
But the leaders all look so fat
They barter for more sanctions at home
And joe public starves all alone

He wonders why he can't get a job
They only pay labourers minimum wage
Now he begs for charity
On the street for the world to see

Multinational shit
Ecocide - genocide
Multinational shit
The starving side

So let the world hear this now
Get out with your multinational shit
And drop the sanctioned rubbish
Before the world if finished

But no, we can't do that yet
Because apartheid isn't abolished
Well, united nations, if it's about human rights
There should have been troops here ten years ago!!

Multinational shit
Ecocide - genocide
Multinational shit
The starving side


6. CORPORATE HYPOCRISY

The bullshit rolls on
Ignoring all protest
And argument in its path
Another denial of rights!

The studying of children
To prove known effects
Sponsored by the companies
Trying to save their necks

But in ten years from now
They'll probably all be dead
Promises of a fair survey
You'll never know the truth

The corporate hypocrisy
Rolls on and on
The public bullshit
That there's nothing wrong
Kids dying of cancer
Your next spasmoid child
Is your final answer

The bullshit rolls on
Ignoring all protest
And argument in its path
Another denial of rights!

Will your child
Be the next test victim
Used, abused and unamused
By your friendly salesman

But don't you worry
You hear then say
It was only an accident
But you will pay

The corporate hypocrisy
Rolls on and on
The public bullshit again
That there's fuck-all wrong
Kids dying of cancer
Your next spasmoid child
Is your final answer!
