if you're too slow to realise, then Gammadion will rise!!

[arcane1]

(one of several tunes I can't stop playing lately)

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 Jerusalem"
and it could never happen here

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 its 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 here

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

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.
