RESURRECTION
They said our feelings were too strong
Our concern would only drag us down
They laughed at all the boys and the girls
Who cried the tears to baptise the world
Tears to baptise the world
Some got rick because they were used
Perfect youth cult so abused
We all gathered to dance and applaud
We cried out no one heard us call
No one heard us call
Try to bury the legend, it's time for the resurrection
Tomorrow's forever, so look ahead
There's more to life than playing dead
Like the neon that lights up the night
Pride and hope once again burn bright
Are you ready for the ressurgence of the unconquered contingent
They'll give the torch to carry, alright
But the unworthy shall bathe in its light
The rich mans gain is the punks loss
You carry the banner that becomes a cross
Banner that becomes a cross
We've got something to shout about
We are the immortal cult
No more fighting, this time stay together
Look ahead, tomorrow's for ever
Tomorrow's forever
Write an epitaph for us all
We'll sit back and calculate your fall
A new strength you could never explain
Born again from your dying pain
We're no pathetic fashion
We're the ultimate faction
We've found ourselves, it's not too late
Strength and unity with our only faith
YOUNG BLOOD
Down the town it's Friday night
See a band get in a fight
Flash of steel, end of fun
Growing up has just begun
More young blood, every day, ok
Life down the drain
More young blood, every day, ok
Isn't it a shame
More young blood, every day, ok
Spilt in the streets
More young blood, every day
Down to football here we go
Tried to find last years foe
They live behind a different scarf
So we fight them for a laugh
More young blood, every day, ok
Life down the drain
More young blood, every day, ok
Isn't it a shame
More young blood, every day, ok
Spilt in the streets
More young blood, every day
Here they come over the park
Shouts and war cries in the dark
Flash of steel, end of fun
Growing up has just begun
More young blood, every day, ok
Life down the drain
More young blood, every day, ok
Isn't it a shame
More young blood, every day, ok
Spilt in the streets
More young blood every day
Ok
HUMANE
What I read in the was reality
Hell created by students of bestiality
If this is the human race we're all sick
Torture an animal, you think you're better than it
Wake up it's time to die again
Your plite must make me cry again
They stick electrodes inside your head
If you're lucky, you'll soon be dead
Choking on tobacco smoked for pleasure
Testing out cream for a wrinkled face
Agony we cannot measure
Trapped behind the bars with no escape
Increasing Cancer Research's wealth
Isn't going to bring you good health
Reality, you continue to ignore
Much more pain for us all to endure
One day your factories and laboratories
Will be burned and you'll be brought to your knees
Then you'll find out what it's really like
When someone slowly ends your life
In factory farms across the country
Millions waiting to be freed
You say that they lack human feelings
This battered flesh on which we feed
Is it really so hard to open your eyes
See through a cruel goverment's disguise
Use your voice for those who have none
Or has the system struck you dumb?
Upper crust on horseback, so sick in the head
Getting such pleasure from a useless death
Taxpayer's money for the royal stud
So the parasites can let some more blood
Maiming and killing, setting your traps
Animal loving nation, a load of crap
You have no emotions, you're devoid of pity
The lowest part of humanity.
Wake up it's time to die again.
