"Gammadion Seed" lyrics - SKYCLAD

The Devil's circus came to town
We watched the freaks arrive en masse
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 TV 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
