Dark Forces

(album: Killing Joke - 1980)

You'll need a bit of holy water
And a little bit of knowledge
Invocation to your holy guardian angel
The great evil around

God gave man dominion
Over fowls of the air
And fish of the sea
Justification of desecration
Who wrote this madness?

Get up! Wake up!
Someone's taking you for a ride
Get up! Wake up!
Dark forces

They're printing up money
That doesn't exist
Then watch the wealthy
As they cash their chips
Economy's failed
Start a war machine
Devoid of moral cause
As we witness the end
Of international laws

Get up! Wake up!
Someone's taking you for a ride
Get up! Wake up!
Dark forces

I'm an inside man
Of the serpent clan
33 degrees
I'll do as I please
Power for power's sake
And two weeks off
In bohemian grove
You wanna come?

All the banking houses
That buy and sell
They'd sell their own mother
Just eat shit and die
Like everyone else

Get up! Wake up!
Someone's taking you for a ride
Get up! Wake up!
Dark forces

Get up! Wake up!
Someone's taking you for a ride
Get up! Wake up!
Dark forces
