Lords And Masters – 25th July 1984

Our earth shattered and torn
Ripping apart the dreams of the unborn
Cherishing those delivered by a lord
Who left a master alone to get bored
Pulling the plug to release a love never to see
And never to be seen again by you and me
His own love left a disease to plunder and rape
A disease which you and I will never escape
Instilled the fear with a battering push and pull
Corrupting my heart which was full
Of a love never felt before
Terrorised and turned into a cancerous sore
Now we walk this road alone with what is left of our love
I cannot see the heavens promised from above

Follow me down this road of hate
There we will eventually find our peace and resting place
And leave those too overcome with greed
To die how they never dreamed
Together we can find true harmony
And now is the time to start searching

Peace. Freedom. Love.

31st Aug 2024 – I have a note next to the title that just says ‘Weird?’ meaning that the music for this shouldn’t be weird and as I’m writing it out here I can imagine that I was inspired by Crass’ ‘Penis Envy’ album.

The End Is At Hand – 21st July 1984

The end is at hand – it’s the new demand
The end is at hand – destroy the land
The end is at hand – machines all unmanned
The end is at hand – everything is banned
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
The end is at hand
We’re finished………

17th June 2023 – Certainly inspired by Flux of Pink Indians somehow. I can hear their first album when I read this.
