NAPALM DEATH LYRICS

1. Persona Non Grata

Like shit, like shit, like shit

Trodden down like shit underfoot
Like shit, be the downside to others upsides
Like shit, last one to the table, just starve
Like shit, you'll get what you're given
You'll get what you're given

This is set in stone from the ivory towers
Perception above all
When you're face down in the dirt

Irreversibly persona non grata
A figure off ill distinction
Persona non grata
The place for blame diversion

No matter the plaudits I earn
Like shit, the whoring and scoring for points
Like shit, to strive to be superficial
Like shit, I'll live by your status
I'll live by your status

This is knowing your place
Beneath the ivory towers
Not a growing concern
But a lowly beast of burden

Irreversibly persona non grata
A figure off ill distinction
Persona non grata
The place for blame diversion

Like shit

2. Smear Campaign

Cheated the way from fringe to elite
Clique of stylists
Rounded illogic skipping a beat
To a dead cert

Dry-heaving charges and bursting the abscess
With a forked tongue
Bloated with courage
And spewing with cloying self-importance

Drop your targets
Aim sights lower
Leave unblemished those with real power

Smear Campaign

Stroke two faces
Nests to feather
Leave unblemished those with real power

A thousand cuts
Beat yourself proud
Leave unblemished those with real power

3. Atheist Runt

I'm an empty, vain shell
Detached and stricken
Bereft of richness from your faith

Restrain this runt
Neutralise this runt
Behead this runt amid pillars of salt

Knives out and poised
The balanced fall - consumed
And onto their own blades

Restrain this runt
Neutralise this runt
Behead this runt amid pillars of salt

Disabled in limbo
Enabled if I stand down
And fall onto my own blade

4. Morale

Odds are stacked with hooks to catch
The creeping doubt that strains the cracks

Morale – blitzed – morale
Culled – morale
Morale

Invite the plague to hasten the conversion
Or piss upon the incorrputible
Deny a way in

Morale – sheared – morale
Drained – morale
Morale

The pasage of the scapegoat
In acceptance
An endgame from a platform
A mortal wounding

Morale

5. Our Pain Is Their Power

[Instrumental]

6. Weltschmerz (Extended Apocalyptic Power)

[Instrumental]
