lyrics

Black suns rose over Europe's missing son
Pink triangle shone over Russia's dark dawn
They tried to speed up the end of the world
But their old Gods are impotent, hate filled
And infirm
Rats bloat cat-size under yellow felt stars
Black velvet sky, like our vivid daymares
The blood of martyrs runs through resevoirs
Skinless throats sing tracheotomy hymns

And some make money from hatred
And some make money from fear
And some make money from hunger
And some make money from bigotry
And some make money from politics
And some from religion
It's all blood money
And this great world is brimming with blood

In a past life I know I may have been
A vestal virgin, next a warrior queen
Now no longer armed, my words are my sword
To carve an imagined better life its own reward
Down here on the killing floor, disease is rife
Me and you and Blind Joe Death
The sickle sisters
Turn the sickles onto the fickle
Words cannot express my love
Stray syllables trickle

And some make money from hatred
And some make money from fear
And some make money from hunger
And some make money from bigotry
And some make money from politics
And some from religion
It's all blood money
And this great world is brimming with blood

When the dying sun paints every sickly face red
And all turns to ash here below
When the grinding pulse of industry finally stops dead
After the fire will come the deepest snow
