mornings
they tell me everything
that i need to know
or i care to know
well i can visualize
the look in your eyes
the horror
as the plane goes down
and the siren sounds
we can’t believe
we can’t believe

in the east where the bear is dancing
in the west where the eagle flies
in the middle we stand our ground
the forces pull us down down down

tensions on both sides
we’re paralyzed and victimized
we’re terrified and petrified
demoralized and mortified
of genocide and suicide
and patricide and cyanide
we’re pacified by every side
force-fed pride and then we die for them
we die for them

in the east where the bear is dancing
in the west where the eagle flies
in the middle we stand our ground
the forces pull us down down down

we believe

absolution and a frozen room
are the dreams of men below
i try to grab it but the touch is hot
the mirror collapses, but the image came not
i’m scared of the darkness in the light
i scare myself because i know i’m right
i see the evil in your savage eye
as it cuts right through the sky
burning inside! burning inside!

calling a mantra with a blade in the skin
for the demons within
i feel the pain is the death and decay
but the lesson never fades away
too little shadows, turn away
you throw the man through the window pane
another slave and a victim of fate
another lesson in hate
burning inside! burning inside!

thrown into a cell
a punishment fit
for a crippled mind
don’t do that to me
criminals, sodomites, all laughing at me

life is hell
forever fighting
a deficient mind
we’re all left alone and poisoned
a sickening trap
a sight worth seeing

dehumanize
lobotomize
thrown into a cell
swallow your pride
in an infant mind

don’t do that to me
don’t do that to me
force breaks our back
time preserves, fearfully

you know what i said
hideous and strange
thrown into a cell
a punishment fit
for a crippled mind

one left out
when they passed heaven about
what about me
sitting here in my purgatory
so left out
he’s dead
i’m alive
he’s spared
always an angel who cares
always an angel there

one like me
we try so hard
five like you
someone dead again
where’s your angel now?
where’s your angel now?
where’s your morals now?
where’s your morals?

always an angel there
where’s your angel now?
always an angel who cares
always an angel there
where’s your morals?
there’s always an angel who cares
there’s always an angel there

no more people staring
no more fatal dares
like a baby grabbing at
something that isn’t there
but it is
but it is

always an angel there
always an angel who cares
always an angel there
always an angel who cares

step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey

fist to fist
eye to eye
the rulers of the wasteland
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey

step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey

head to head
chest to chest
which country is the very best?
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey

step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey

Die! Die! Die! Die!
Scum-suckers! Debility divulged!
Anal fuck-fest, thrill Olympics
Savage scourge supply and sanctify
So what? So what?
So what? So what?
Die! Die! Die! Die!

Die! Die! Die! Die!
You said it!
Sedatives supplied become laxatives
My eyes out lies
I only kill to know I’m alive
So what? So what?
So what? So what?
Die! Die! Die! Die!

“Kill for the thrill. (assassin) Some people think newspapers
exaggerate juvenile crime. All that is defined mostly to the
large cities, juvenile delinquency is underlined. Thus parents
think something is going wrong with the environment. Adults
create the world, children live it. Juvenile delinquency is
always rooted in adult delinquency. And in this process, parents
play the key role when children grow up among adults who refuse
to recognize anything that is fine and good, or worthy of
respect.”

Die! Die! Die! Die!
So what, it’s your own problem to learn to live with
Destroy us, or make us slaves
We don’t care, it’s not our fault that we were born too late
A screaming headache on the promised age
Killing time is appropriate
To make a mess and all the rest, we say, we say
So what? So what?
So what? So what?
Die!

Die!
Now that I know what it’s like,
I’ll kill them all if I like
Only time will decide
No one listened to reason,
it’s too late and I’m ready to fight
So what? Now I’m ready to fight!
I’m ready to fight!
I’m ready to fight!
I’m ready to fight!
I’m ready to fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
So What?
So What?
So What?
So What?
So What?
So What?

Ministry was an American industrial metal band founded by frontman Al Jourgensen in 1981. Originally a synthpop outfit, Ministry changed its style to industrial metal in the late 1980s. Ministry found mainstream success in the early 1990s with its most successful album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992) and touring as part of the Lollapalooza festival. After 27 years of performing, Al Jourgensen decided to retire the band as of 2008.

it’s not a matter of rights
it’s just a matter of war
don’t have a reason to fight
they never had one before
you’re just a killing machine
he’s come to take you down
we take the gas that we need
and pump the blood on the ground

they’re gonna set you up
so they can take you down
they’re gonna suck you dry
they’ve left the blood to be found
they’re gonna rip you apart
you’re gonna burn at the stake
cos when it’s time to collect
it’s only heroes who pay
