Lyrics

Man watching video
The bomb keeps on ticking
He doesn't know why
He's just cattle for slaughter
The requiem!
The requiem!
The requiem!
When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there's nothing to say
When will it start worrying you?
The requiem!
The requiem!
The requiem!
Only a hint of religion
Uncensors to its false depravity
The sound of breaking glass
This is a reflection
The requiem!
The requiem!
The requiem!
The!
Written by: Geordie Walker, Jaz Coleman, K. Walker, Martin Glover, Paul Ferguson
