CRIME
brother to brother man to man nation to nation we enter the age of...crime i see the shadows of the rising sun i stand aside as the deed is done and i have wandered through the darkest nights to see the coming of the israelites and i have walked across the waters to hear the voices of the battle song and i have coveted the daughters of the women of babylon and i have seen them fall without emotion and i have tasted wealth god knows it's a crime i see religion cut a land in two i turned away as the violence grew i saw a man reach for the stars as hunger raged down in africa and i have walked across the waters to hear the voices of the battle song and i have coveted the daughters of the women of babylon and i have seen them fall without emotion and i have tasted wealth god knows it's a crime it's a crime it's a crime it's a crime i am the soldier of a hundred shores i bear the scars of a thousand wars i was the child who cried alone i am the seed that you have sown and i have walked across the waters to hear the voices of the battle song and i have coveted the daughters of the women of babylon and i have seen them fall without emotion and i have heard the call without devotion and i have tasted wealth god knows it's a crime it's a crime it's a crime it's a crime it's a crime it's a crime it's a crime the perfect crime
ATOMIC HARVEST

ON THE WATERFRONT
put their slogans on the factory wall the lights go down, darkness falls on the waterfront we appear from a world of cold and steel discarded by the industrial wheel on the waterfront but down the dockland late at night the fires of london burn so bright no one cares, or sheds a tear for those who live through their nights of fear on the waterfront we live together on the waterfront we stay forever on the waterfront they push us away, they close the door in the part of the city that no-one saw on the waterfront and so we move like ghosts through a timeless zone through the midst of the river we call our home on the waterfront but down the dockland late at night the fires of london burn so bright no one cares, or sheds a tear for those who live through their nights of fear on the waterfront we live together on the waterfront we stay forever on the waterfront on the waterfront we live together on the waterfront we stay forever on the waterfront we appear from a world of cold and steel discarded by the industrial wheel and no one cares, or sheds a tear for those who live through their nights of fear on the waterfront we live together on the waterfront we stay forever on the waterfront on the waterfront we live together on the waterfront we stay forever on the waterfront
BRANDED
the times are changing, see the boys in drag no kisses in their wine (?) we see the girl stand still when she learns to kill are we in the wrong time? why do we laugh a lot? why do we cry a lot? at the things that people say the boys will be girls and girls will be boys but it's a game that we can't play 'cause we are branded we are branded and by the cradle ? 'cause we are branded we are branded and by the cradle ? we see the boys all run at the sight of a gun the men lay down and die we see the bitch with a butch in the city lights their mothers start to cry why do we scream at night? why do we dream at night? of the life we never saw we got false illusion and world confusion but we are...what we are and we are branded we are branded and by the cradle ? and we are branded we are branded and by the cradle ? why do we scream at night? why do we dream at night? of the life we never saw we got false illusion and world confusion but we are...what we are and we are branded we are branded and by the cradle ? 'cause we are branded we are branded and by the cradle ? ...
