Skyclad

Skyclad - Gammadion Seed lyrics

When they paraded through our streets, we turned a blind eye as they passed

Safe in the comfort of our homes we all forget the need to fear

This is the new "new Jerusalem" and it could never happen

Hear the cries as freedom dies - the gods of war have woken

A Catherine wheel of fire and steel, the death machine in motion.

The Gammadion Seed - draw the curtains, live in fear

The Gammadion Seed - watch your neighbours disappear

The Gammadion Seed - if you're too slow to realise

The Gammadion Seed - then Gammadion will rise.

Five years pass by - unnoticed change, their glamour has us in it's grasp

But now the walls have eyes and ears - questions too dangerous to ask

New state controlled T.V. and press - for reasons suddenly unclear

This is the European dream so nothing bad can happen

Hear the cries as freedom dies - the gods of war have woken

A Catherine Wheel of fire and steel, the death machine in motion.

Now the first among equals are chosen at birth

Your outward appearance is all that you're worth

They came for the black man and then for the Jew

They've done with the gypsies - all that leaves is you!

Behind the painted greasepaint smiles - hide faces rarely known to grin

Men who will feed you to the lions for having different thoughts or skin

And when we realise that we've made a state to last a thousand years

Our 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 woken

A Catherine Wheel of fire and steel, the death machine in motion.

The Gammadion Seed - draw the curtains, live in fear

The Gammadion Seed - watch your neighbours disappear

The Gammadion Seed - if you're too slow to realise

The Gammadion Seed - then Gammadion will rise
