New Model Army High All Consuming Fire False Maria rises up from the corporate slab, all clad in flawless steel “Hello Boys” she says and the pack dogs gather, slavering around at her heel And the women try to stretch their faces, hoping to look more like her And then chanting her name, they hurl themselves Deep into the all-consuming fire So onwards to the feast to end all feasting, onwards to Midas Hall Where the treasures of the world reproduce themselves like a hoard of cancerous cells You can track the spread of the virus by the newsreader’s colourful attire Let’s go there now, reporting live, From the chaos scenes at the all-consuming fire And save us from these justifications when every one of them is a lie Pax Americana reigns and rains from two miles in the sky Men rise from their beds and they shave their heads and they wait for the orders to come But there’s still no word, there’s still no word, there’s still no word from the Front And while a billion hungry eyes are watching us from beyond the citadel wall We’ve found a thousand ways to lay waste the planet and we’re going to use them all A culture in just two dimensions is all that we require Because it burns so well, it burns so well So blazing bright in the all-consuming fire The Captain abandoned ship years ago but nobody thought to inquire And so the band plays on, we sail gently west So gently into the all-consuming fire |
