Contagion - Napalm Death

Perilous is the heart that thrives

Towards a new life is what they strive

Blood is lost as debts are paid

Against all odds in a jungle maze

Steam burns and skin is cracked

Families huddle on the roof racks

Boldly robbed in the night’s glare

Human prey for corporate fare

Contagion

(Contagion)

Contagion

Greed is a contagion refined with a soulless poison

They negotiate in innocence with a greed that’s infectious

Back to back on the spine of the beast

Willing to die if that’s what it takes

Towards lands that refuse to accept

And build walls to blind eyes to the deaths

Out of fear, they run and hide

A glimpse of rapture their one true guide

The quest for what we take for granted

What should be done to help those disenchanted?

Greed is a contagion refined with a soulless Poison

They negotiate in innocence with a greed that’s infectious

Blood soaked currency dictating their doctrine

Baneful sadists

Greed is a contagion

Babies are hoisted aboard the carrion

Negotiations to escape

(Limbs upon limbs)

Bodies fall in the throes of sleep

Or in the humid darkness are raped

Summoning courage without guarantees (Without guarantees)

There’s no going back, every minute they’ve seized

(Violent extortion)

The brutalities of this inhuman course (Inhuman course)

As their fragile governments try to enforce

Violent extortion
