Ministry

standing round the table
spinning fables
and signing autographs
can’t you hear them laugh
ha ha ha ha ha
in their secrecies
they plan their strategies
it’s called hypocrisy
and we believe

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

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

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

will these dreams still follow me
out of dark obscurity?
can’t you see it up in the sky
as it kicks you in the face and sucks you dry
you never had the answers
and now you tell me the facts of life
i really couldn’t be bothered with you
get out of my face and watch me die
burning inside! burning inside!

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!

now is an angel there?
now is an angel there?
now is an angel there?

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

face to face
blood to blood
the mountain
you tumbled from
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey

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

stronger than reason
stronger than lies
the only truth I know
is the look in your eyes
the look in your eyes

just like a car crash
just like a knife
my favourite weapon
is the look in your eyes
you’ve run out of lies

you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
there’s a ton locked in your empty eyes
get out of my life

I’m chewing on glass
and eating my fingers
I’m not the one
who’s run out of lies
lies

you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of lies
you’ve run out of time

cutting my face
and walking on splinters
I lost my soul
to the look in your eyes
your eyes

you ran out of lies
you ran out of lies
you ran out of lies
you ran out of time

stigmata!

o, you have empty eyes
they tell me nothing, nothing but lies

well I live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the night
cos to me everyday is halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight

well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
all the people seem to stop and stare
they say ‘why are you dressed like it’s halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene!’

o, why can’t I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that’s served?
why can’t they see they’re just like me
it’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide world

well I let their teeny minds think
that they’re dealing with someone who is over the brink
and I dress this way just to keep them at bay
cos halloween is everyday
it’s everyday

o, why can’t I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that’s served?
why can’t they see they’re just like me
it’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide world

o, why can’t I live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that’s served?
why can’t they see they’re just like me
I’m not the one that’s so absurd

why hide it?
why fight it?
hurt feelings
best to stop feeling hurt
from denials, reprisals
it’s the same it’s the same in the whole wide world
