New Model Army - I Love The World

New Model Army I Love The World
cd: thunder and consolation

The roll of distant thunder breaks, the afternoon of silence wakes
They hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance
In fury blind, I drive at night across the moors, the open roads
Beneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance
These cities are illusions of some triumph over Nature's laws
We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust
And as the waters rise, it seems we cling to all the rootless things
The Christian lies, technology, while spirits scream and sing
Oh God I love the world
Well I never said I was a clever man but I know enough to understand
That the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease
You blind yourselves with comfort lies like lightning never strikes you twice
And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink
This temple that is built so well to separate us from ourselves
Is a power grown beyond control, a will without a face
And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands of this
But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace
Oh God I love the world
And if one day the final fire explodes across the whitened sky
I know you've said you'd rather die and make it over fast
With courage from your bravest friends, waiting outside for the end
With no bitterness but an innocence that I can't seem to grasp
I know somehow I will survive - this fury just to stay alive
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can walk the hills one last time
Scarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll scream to no one left at all
I told you so, I told you so, I told you so . .
Oh God I love the world

[MrShinigami7]

The lyrics are so clever, They are so amazing...

[marmas58ink]

Most punk/post punk lyrics aren't nearly so broadly rebellious or anarchic as this! ...Like Nietzsche had a little child. (W/ a panoply at least, of Paganism?)

[inspiralroses]

I love Dr. Avalanche!!!

[ClintJCL]

@NigeThePython Damn, that's a cover?! Time to update my ID3 tags... :)

[NigeThePython]

@ClintJCL do you prefer sepultura "the hunt" or do you like the NMO orginal better? thats a hard coice for me, because i love seps more agressive style, but NMO sounds.... good because its so old i think lol

[TheBoaConstrictor95]

Argh, I can't tell if I like this version or the Anacrusis cover more.

Scarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll scream to no one left at all: I told you so! - I hope I wont be scarred or dying but i'll def be smiling and that's exactly what I'll be saying after peak oil has hit. Won't be to far from now, yay! :)
