lyrics

And another one down for the homeland
Let the freedom ring out loud
One by one an endless parade of
Homecoming coming home under a shroud

Do you know even what we’re fighting for?
Nothing makes money like making war
So fear for your nation
At our invitation

Lay down the lives of

The few, the proud, the sinners
For God and country, blood to shed
The winners of the wars
Will be held on high in glory forever and ever
Is this human nature?

In the shadow in certain destruction
Indoctrinate your children well
Give them their hatred and violent desires
And if they get lucky they’ll go straight to hell

Another brainless soldier sent to die
For an oligarchy built on self-perpetuating lies
For the motherland, for the motherland
She loves you

She lives on the lives of

The few, the proud, the sinners
For God and country, blood to shed
The winners of the wars
Will be held on high in glory forever and ever
Is this human nature?

Do you really know who your heroes are?
They say you shouldn’t meet them, it’s much better by far
To turn away and blindly worship the false ideal of the flag you are under.

So fight for your honor and fight for your homeland
Relish destruction, we need your support and
Your loyal compliance, and constant reliance
On everything we do, we don’t do it for you

Another brainless soldier sent to die
For an oligarchy built on self-perpetuating lies
For the motherland, for the motherland
For the motherland

She’s fed by the lives of

The few, the proud, the sinners
For God and country, blood to shed
The winners of the wars
Will be held on high in glory forever and ever
Is this human nature?

Do you really know who your heroes are?
They say you shouldn’t meet them, it’s much better by far
To turn away and blindly worship the false ideal of the flag you are under
(Flag you are under)

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
