Lyrics Icons of Filth

Icons of Filth

Onward Christian Soldiers

I don’t mind slaving all my life

For the benefit of others

Who were born into privilege

Who tear the earth apart with their self-importance &

greed

Because those who tear the earth apart

With their self-importance & greed

Have convinced me that it’s all I’m fit for

Have convinced me that it’s my purpose

Have convinced me that it’s what I’m here for

I don’t mind killing all my life

For the benefit of others who were born into privilege

Who tear the earth apart

With the fear they instill with their wars

Because those who tear the earth apart

With the fear they instill with their wars

Have convinced me they are worth dying & killing for

Have convinced me god is worth dying & killing for

Have convinced me lies are worth dying & killing for

I don’t mind being a pawn all my life

For the stupidity of others

Who were born into privilege

Who tear the earth apart

With their assurance of life after death

Because those who tear the earth apart

With their assurance of life after death

Have convinced me that my shitty life will be

compensated

For when I’ve finished feeding their mouths & lining

their pockets& fighting their wars & believing their

lies

I will live peacefully ever after in some imaginary

christian utopia

In heaven with god

In harmony

Onward Christian Soldiers

Another life awaits

(Lies & assurances of something better in the future

always

makes us happy with the shit we have at present)
