You really can't have an 80's inspired Industrial/EBM album without at least 4 songs about the Cold War. This is one of them.
Thanks to Steven Archer for writing verse lyrics and recording vocals.
lyrics
(STEVEN)
The nothing colour of the television
Has become the only state religion
Every single waving flag is frozen
Every choice for us already chosen
Everyone is hoarding plans
For the day after the burning lands
Everyone is counting sheep
While the wolves in MX missiles are asleep
(DANIEL)
ANY MINUTE A DETONATION BY
THE TRIGGER FINGER OF A STERILE
NATION OF LIES
THEN WE SEE THE FLAMES FILL THE SKY
(STEVEN)
The flowers of yellow fallout shelter signs
All our lives a former actor designed
Behind the search lights and barbed wire reviled
Buried missiles under fallow cornfields
The Search lights and barbed wire walls
iron curtains rise and spy planes fall
With One ear up should Washington call to
Duck and duck and cover duck and cover
(DANIEL)
IN A MINUTE THE TERMINATION OF
A MILLION FACES AND THE LIVES
OF THE ONES THAT WE LOVE
WHEN WE SEE THE FLAMES FILL THE SKY
(STEVEN)
No where to run
No where to hide
No where to run
No where to hide
No one to trust
No one to fight
No more hope
And No white knight
Just a million frozen eyes...
(DANIEL)
ANY MINUTE A RESTITUTION BY
THE SILENT DANCING ON THE EDGE
OF A BLADE OF A KNIFE
AS WE SEE THE FLAMES FILL THE SKY
AND WHEN WE'VE TRADED
OUR SOUL FOR A PAIR OF ANGEL WINGS
IN VOLUNTARY RETRIBUTION
FOR ALL OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'VE NEVER DONE WITH OUR LIVES

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray
