Lyrics: Echoes from the past Day by day reminders We swore “they shall not pass” I fear the worst shall surely find us The future bent and spent In dark enlightenment The “people they have spoken” The serpents egg cracked open Bodies washed up on the beach Children drowning out of reach Hear the children cry This ship is sailing Into deep dark waters All systems are failing We go like cattle to the slaughter To the slaughter… Shadows from the past Cancelling the future We thought we’d seen the last Of the Euro high class butchers The fate of mice and men We’re sleepwalking again Into a mess of our own making The barricades are shaking This time in business suits Not in helmets or jackboots Pull the trees out by the roots And shake the ground with thunder This ship is sailing Into deep dark waters All systems are failing We go like cattle to the slaughter To the slaughter… Our fortress continent Our values torn and bent We bomb and when they run We tell them they can’t come Just like in World War two We showed no pity on the Jews We othered them as well Abandoned them to hell We say ‘they’re not welcome here” “send them all back there’ Where’s the enlightenment In our crime / their punishment ? Our fortress continent Built on Colonial theft Our European mess… This ship is sailing Into deep dark waters All systems are failing We go like cattle to the slaughter To the slaughter… Gangsters in uniform Praying for the coming storm Judeo-Christian soldiers Waiting for the orders To storm the citadels Insurgents fight the infidels Make a martyr of your son Teach him how to shoot a gun Pack his schoolbag with a bomb And keep praying to your god Because God is on your side Will your life be sacrificed To an old man in the sky? But to meet him you must die This ship is sailing Into deep dark waters Wise men are bailing We go like cattle to the slaughter To the slaughter…. #PrimalScream #DeepDarkWaters #ComeAhead
