BLINDED COLONY LYRICS

1. My Halo

This very day you`ll take a last breathe and leave me
I`ve scrubbed myself `til bleed
I cannot make the tiniest mistake, `cos you`ll stab me
You turn lambs to murderers

What? Who shut the light?
My halo used to shine all bright! But now...
I`ve dug out myself in search of worms way deep inside
What now?

Clean, I can never be
Perfection
I hunt but will never catch
Hypochondria, I make a monster of myself because of forbidden fruit

What? Who shut the light?
My halo used to shine all bright! But now...
I`ve dug out myself in search of worms way deep inside
What now?

My halo used to shine

2. Bedtime Prayers

It seems like no one sees the oblivious
It seems like no one cares to try to understand

A map and some sense is all you need to get the bloody picture clear
They breed their traditions, passing their
God on to the new blood, wide open for reception

It seems like no one sees the oblivious
It seems like no one cares to try to understand

Look; we`ve got the pagans in south - feeding their gods
Jesus disciples in our TV - needing their god
We breed the beliefs

Again and again we breed beliefs
Still the picture ain`t bloody clear
The bombs are since birth attached to out bodies for infidels, all ready for destruction

Look; we`ve got the pagans in south - feeding their gods
Jesus disciples in our TV - needing their god
We breed the beliefs

The bedtime prayer continues
A well meaning mother continues
Look; we`ve got the pagans in south...

3. Once Bitten, Twice Shy

I will witness it collapse
So it does, just thanks to us
Our many words, not done just heard
We leave this world

I feel so ashamed that we`re to blame
Obvious lie as we all die; once bitten, twice shy

What will make you understand?
Holding death in your hand?

You`ve got a sign in your fucking forehead; slow down or be dead!
But hey, leave it our kids, let`s sleep instead

And when you`ve come to realize it`s way too late
God dammit you HAVE realized and it`s way too late

Once bitten, twice shy?
Then how come we all die?

Await the better days, don`t pull your weight
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?

No one`s perfect, no one`s even bloody close
My brain`s my body`s defect, programmed to lose

And when you`ve come to realize it`s way too late
God dammit you HAVE realized and it`s way too late!

Await the better days, don`t pull your weight
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?

Once bitten, twice shy?

What will make you understand?
Holding death in your hand?

Await the better days, don`t pull your weight
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?

4. Need

It`s broken again, it`s broken again
Always the same as no one gains
when everything is perfect
It`s all manufactured with a defect

And since they can live on us we live through them
Yes we live through them

They`re making us needing them in a physical way
They`re making us needing them in a mental way

Now rebellion ain`t no longer old
Che`s face on children`s clothes

Make us never stop needing more
Make us never feel self-assured, `cos we ain`t for sure

And since they can live on us we live through them

I am perfect when naked and unleashed

They`re making us needing them in a physical way
They`re making us needing them in a mental way

Fuck that bloody idea
Take a culture and sell it expensive

It`s all so calculated, it's all so calculated
With perfection it gets so complicated

It`s broken again, it`s broken again!
Always the same as no one gains

And since they can live on us we live through them
Yes we live through them

They`re making us needing them in a physical way
They`re making us needing them in a mental way

5. Revelation, Now!

Would it be such a shock if you showed your beloved face?
Put an end to all doubt, `cos you can`t fucking judge me

I never meant any harm
You are God, capital G
If you read all my thoughts then you know why I don`t believe

Why wouldn`t you let me in?
Point your finger at this, point your finger at that
Just clear up all the mess and set the record straight

Revelation, now!
Come out wherever you are

A mother in grief, cancer ate her daughter
Give me ONE reason why, justify the slaughter

They were dragging the lake
Young girl in black bag
Where is your helping hand?
Now you know why we don`t believe

But for the girls we must believe

Revelation, now!
Come out wherever you are

Come out!

6. 21st Century Holocaust

Hatred awakes from many years of sleep
We need a scapegoat again
I laugh out loud `cos I don`t know what`s worse;
cheap movie speeches or those who believe in them

We move towards the 21st century holocaust
We fear no war `cos we haven`t learned a thing
You dumb fucks!

The shit from out mouths suddenly makes sense
We believe our own lies
It`s so, so much easier to hate than to listen and try to understand

We move towards the 21st century holocaust
We fear no war `cos we haven`t learned a thing
You dumb fucks!

7. Aaron's Sons

The perfect God makes perfect laws to fit his perfect creation; the man
Apparently not
He died for your sins, he died so you may sin
Murder ends with murder end with murder

Reputation`s like a mirror blinding you
We all know the sum of the whispering game; a twisted message
Trust in Him and you may kill
He`ll kiss you as blood is spilled
Burnt Leviticus with his sinful deeds
He must be no more

"Aaron`s sons Nadab and Abihu took their cencers, put fire in them and added incense;
and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, contrary to his command.
So fire came out from the presence of [God] and consumed them, and they died before the Lord"
[Leviticus 10:1-2]

Trust in Him and you may kill
He`ll kiss you as blood is spilled
Burnt Leviticus with his sinful deeds
He must be no more

Face the sinner you justify
Another servant of Satan, of course he died
Which God regrets? Not the perfect one

Reputation`s like a mirror blinding you
We all know the sum of the whispering game; a twisted message

Trust in Him and you may kill
He`ll kiss you as blood is spilled
Burnt Leviticus with his sinful deeds
He must be no more

8. In Here

Cut me out from the belly, first light dazzling me
Gave me a name followed by a number

In here we cannot run away
In here we are meant to stay
In here, until we fade away
In here we are held back

Borders everywhere, musts everywhere
I don`t know where I want to go, but I won`t stay here

Late racists drew these lines
Locked up by your name in modern time
I eat, I sleep, I guard what`s mine
What they call freedom I cannot find

Forced to complete in this bloody game
It`s fucked how we don`t complain
I cannot live with the end when I can`t play

In here we cannot run away
In here we are meant to stay
In here until we fade away
In here we are fucked

What`s the price of the sun?
When you own it you?ll charge us all
What`s the price of this earth?
Since you own it you charge us all for living, for breathing...
I can no longer breathe in here

Late racists drew these lines
Locked up by your name in modern time
I eat, I sleep, I guard what`s mine
What they call freedom I cannot find

9. Heart

Are you there, dear old friend? I really miss you
`Cos I can`t feel your beats unless my hand`s on my chest

Guidance, please! Now don`t you shut down again
Your guidance ceased and I fell down, I still don`t stand

Dear old friend where have you gone?
Now I can`t feel at all what`s right or wrong

I made wrong moves, a dog rose in bloom later withered
Then the shock, that shakes me still, came almost fatal

Guidance, please! Now don`t you shut down
again
Your guidance ceased and I fell down, I still
don`t stand

Dear old friend where have you gone?
Now I can`t feel at all what`s right or wrong

Don`t you leave me here alone!

Dear old friend where have you gone?
Now I can`t feel at all what`s right or wrong
