New Model Army

New Model Army - All Consuming Fire lyrics

Your rating:


Cause the rear rises up from the corporate slab 

all proud and flawless for you

"Hello, boy," she says and the pack dogs gather 

slobbering around at her heels 

and the women all try to stretch their faces 

trying to look more like her 

and then chanting her name 

they hurl themselves  

into the all-consuming fire. 

 

So onwards to the peace to end all peaces, yeah, 

onward to Midas' hole 

where the treasures of the world reproduce themselves 

like a hoard of cancerous cells 

you can track the spread of the virus 

by the news reader's colorful attire 

let's go there now, reporting life  

in the all-consuming fire. 

 

so save us from these justifications 

every one of them is a lie 

Pax Americana rains and rains 

from two miles in the sky 

men shave their heads 

and pay at  the desk 

and wait for the orders to come 

but there's still no word, there's still no word 

there's still no word from the front. 

 

And a billion hungry eyes they are watching us 

from beyond the citadel walls 

we found a thousand ways to burn up the planet 

and we're gonna try them all 

the captain abandoned ship years ago 

but nobody thought to tell 

and so the band plays on, we sail gently west 

into the all-consuming fire. 

 

Yeah, culture in two dimensions 

is all that we require, because it burns so well, 

it burns so well in the all-consuming fire.
