One of my favourite Killing Joke tracks next to Requiem and Psyche. Total genius.

Love that Nazca Lines robe.
Love the song even more.

@jessejafrnd I'd say it's a cynical view of where Mankind is going-not to a good place, thus "a new day" on the surface sounds promising-but isn't. The Easter Island images are from a lost civilization that probably destroyed itself long ago and all that are left of them are the statues they constructed. I take the lead singer in this video (Jaz) to be a prophet of death.

figure it out.

What is this song talking about, honestly?

I agree that there is something quite magical and stirring about this song - it's quite extraordinary. I bought it when it came out, on 12". Killing Joke were, and remain, a fascinating and exciting band.

@Slaprougefun exactly.



After all these years this song still stirs something ethereal and hypnotic in me that very few songs have ever done; perhaps its the croon of Geordie’s beautiful guitar riff slipping in and out of the rhythm and bass, and the hailing voice of Jazz in these clarion call lyrics…I don’t know… sort of like a powerful dream that evokes indescribable emotions that you can’t shake off and that stick with you through the glaring reality of the next day. Mysterious!
