Killing Joke - Lanterns

How could this happen that it wasn't here previously?

Shame on You, fellow YouTubers!

Equinox sun. Summers of fun
No mortgage repayments to weigh my mind
And if it all fell through tomorrow
Put my pack on my back
And it's home where the lunatics roam
Faith, faith moved a mountain
Where the rivers are so clean
And the consciousness so green
And the luminous folk shine like
Lanterns of hope

Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope

Ribbons of wishes, tied to the trees
Hives full of honey, yield to the seed

And if it all fell through tomorrow
Put my pack on my back
And it's home where the lunatics roam
Faith, faith moved a mountain
Where the rivers are so clean
And the consciousness so green
And the luminous folk shine like
Lanterns of hope

Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope

Fire, fire light the lantern
When we drink from the streams
And we grow our own greens
And the fences have all been torn down

Lanterns of hope (x8).

:: And the Luminous Folk shine like lanterns of old! Thank you, kemot112, for this upload. Don't overlook catching Killing Joke on tour this year. Namasté ~ (•8-D

@Clematisian Sure I won't. They're playing a gig out here in September :)

i dont understand why some people consider democracy a weak killing joke record, i love it and cant get enough of it!

[kemot112]

@regnier123 I must agree. It's like new level of playing folk music. The good one, Dylan and stuff.

all album is great. And texts are best

[SCROGY]

@regnier123 Agreed. It was their last great album. Pandemonium sucked because KJ started ripping off all the bands they INFLUENCED. The only good song(s) on Pandemonium was Pandemonium and Jana. Democracy was very strong overall. Lots of great songs and they got away from copying the bands they influenced and actually got back to being KJ and CREATING rather than copying.

@regnier123 thought their weakest was hosannas, still good but absolute dissent was in a better musical direction

Great tune from a much underrated album
