I Should Have Known

Problem, reaction, solution
It’s just the ride they take us on
Create the mess that we’re all in
Sit back and watch us all fighting
When we demand
They have command
I should have known
You fool me once, you fool me twice
Fool me again, well that’s not nice
Did it again
I should have known
They use the media to sell
The rhetoric that all is well
Did it again
I should have known
Manipulation, piracy
Through use of fiat currency
Inflate the markets, make them crash
They end up stealing of our cash
Austerity
And misery
I should have known
You fool me once, you fool me twice
Fool me again, well that’s not nice
Did it again
I should have known
They use the media to sell
The rhetoric that all is well
Did it again
I should have known
Insanity
For world war three
I should have known
You fool me once, you fool me twice
Fool me again, well that’s not nice
Did it again
I should have known
They use the media to sell
The rhetoric that all is well
Did it again
I should have known

How often do you get the whole world at your feet?
Instead complain of those who once sat in that seat
Whenever some challenges you to bring change
You turn away annoyed and just walk off the stage
It’s time the world did know
The untold story
We should have known you are
A one trick pony
We glimpse the qualities that should have made you great
But with time we realised they only will frustrate
The promises you make can fill a cemetery
Our lies and alibis offend our dignity
It’s time the world did know
The untold story
We should have known you are
A one trick pony

The evil lurking in behind the veil of faith
Depravity is justified
Blood on the alter mixed in with the seed of man
Where innocence is sacrificed
Inside your temples
Believe you’re safe
Yet marble angels shed no tears
Drawn by deception
Held down by fear
The devil’s playground is their lair
Defiled by them
Remorse pretend
Your church defend
Where has your God gone now?
Accused deny
Your God defy
Justice you cry
Where has your God gone now?
Each aisle they stalk, try to single out their prey
They use the calling to distract
It’s in your God’s name they lay down a healing hand
That slithers down a child’s back
The burning hunger
Through burning eyes
Sick fantasies they can enact
Kneel down before me
Free heaven’s door
Your eat my flesh and I’ll eat yours
Defiled by them
Remorse pretend
Your church defend
Where has your God gone now?
Accused deny
Your God defy
Justice you cry
Where has your God gone now?
Suffer in silence, victims of decadence
The scars they wear can never heal
Dreams into nightmares, through sacraments of pain
Trapped in the memory of the shame
They are abandoned
Become outcasts
Unworthy of the faith it’s claimed
Yet institutions
Of righteousness
Allow persuasion to remain

Shadows of Gold

We close our eyes to see
The dreams that will set us free
Through lids that help conceal
Passions that we want to feel
But every waking breath
Slowly drained of all our strength
Deprived of what is true
Watch as all our dreams turn to
Shadows of gold
Our backs turned to the light
Shadows that are cast we sight
The wonder what they hold
Spectres that shimmer as gold
Desires are all met
Senses are left all beset
Reach out as we implore
Fingers claw at the night for
Shadows of gold
We sail out with the hope to discover
A ship caught in a tempest we can no longer steer
In oceans full of love ruled by fear
Forever we are drifting in shadows of gold
Inside us is the spark
That can burn away the dark
Dissolve the veil of lies
Phoenix from the ashes rise
And as the ambers fly
Swirling in the midnight sky
Afraid to let them go
We hold on to what we know
Shadows of gold
We sail out with the hope to discover
A ship caught in a tempest we can no longer steer
In oceans full of love ruled by fear
Forever we are drifting in shadows of gold
We’re mesmerised by our desires
Our minds forever trapped in a black dog's serenade
A world that has become oh, so cold
Incessantly we’re searching for shadows of gold

It’s really hard to pick a favourite track, came here for Holy Scorn, replayed Bloodspiller a good few times before settling on Hungry for existence. Shame to see that I’ve missed the cassette but I’m sure I’ll see vinyls in the not too distant future, these lads are going places! 10/10.
