Skyclad - Brimstone Ballet слова песни
"Though I may seem callous" cried old Thomas Malthus,"Paupers are better off dead.That we have to feed them is something we needLike a musket shot straight through the head."Not much of a smiler - our man Wat Tyler(Died for the working man`s fight).Was daring such a treason a justified reasonFor ending his days with his head on a spike?In order to see pearly factory gates -We all learn our places (pre-destined fates).God fearing people with minimal goals,Led to the slaughter - "tools with souls".Save us from hellfire -Save us from dancing the Brimstone Ballet.When the church and its leaders sought new ways to bleed us -It didn`t take them long to find,Fear of perdition beats nuclearFission at making the mill-wheels grind.Ban contraception - a shrewd move says IPlenty of slaves born to suffer and die.Say "Go forth and multiply" when you want more.When you`ve too many just send them to war.History`s wounds will not heal overnight -They pray for my soul as they set me alight.Remember the maxim "Arbeit Macht Frei" -Thought up by a christian with God on his side...It`s a hell made by christians with God on their side.The work goes on in babylon -Enslaving us from birth,With promises of paradise -They`ve made a hell on earth.Save us from hellfire -Save us from dancing the Brimstone Ballet.Well I think that Satan was God`s best creation -He`s kept him in business for years.It`s not common sense making mankind repent -But eternal damnation it fears.They`re not slow to realise - they know every trick.Drive human donkeys with God on a stick.Tom Torquemada - he sings like a dream,Lucrecia Borgia plays lead tambourine.In order to see pearly factory gates -We all learn our places (pre-destined fates).God fearing people with minimal goals,Led to the slaughter - "tools with souls!"Save us from hellfire -Save us from dancing the Brimstone Ballet.
