Icons of Filth

One Second To Midnight

The world’s in torment

Propaganda reigns

To keep us quiet ’til the fallout rains

Well I ain’t gonna shut my trap

’Cos my life’s my life & I'm shouting back

The world’s an asylum

"We've got the most weapons"

Said the eagle to the bear

"Well ours are bigger, so there"

Said bear

"Well, let’s have a war then we’ll see who’s best"

Simple, light, heat, blast, radiation, death

The world’s an asylum

(Chorus) The world’s an asylum & Im sitting in it’s

cell

Don’t feel sorry for me

’Cos you are as well

Who are these people to rule us & spurn us?

Who are these people to ridicule then burn us?

Its their personal battle & they threaten mankind

Light, heat, blast, leave me blind

The world’s an asylum

They’d never stop to think how we feel

They’d bloody our shit & vomit & make our skins

peel & turn our statures into hideous things

No thanks to them & their blindness

The death bells ring

The world’s an asylum

(Chorus)

Doomsday calls

& its.....

One second to midnight

(Midnight)
