Mechanics of Deceit - Napalm Death

Cloaks of sickness

Keeping us sweet

Delusional blackness

Fictional madness

Visionary blackness

Traps are set

Revolving mind-doors

Conspiring our downfall

Which came first, the lies or deceit?

Why did the suffering cross the divide?

The dealer sold his soul to hide

And left us on the other side

The corporate lessons for which we burn

Desolate loops in which we turn

Saga of fools

A voyage of trust

No contracts bound

Gathering dust

Which came first, the secret or the crime?

Where does the loyalty cross the line?

The dealer sold his soul to hide

And left us on the other side

Tranquilize our denial

Vengeance is mine

Capitalize

On regret

Kick aside what aspires

Vengeance is ours

Our defense won’t expire

Eat the shit with a smile, don’t be frail

Our word is bound

Face the wall, fill the mold that we take

And break with our hands

Sign the line, it’s your life

Don’t be squeamish

Take the time, taste the sweat

Choke back your tongue

Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics of deceit

Glorified, butchered, bathed in malice

Sign the line;

it’s your life

Don’t be squeamish

Take the time, taste the sweat

Choke back your tongue

At the shit with a smile, don’t be frail

Our word is bound

Face the wall;

fill the mold that we take

And break with our hands

Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics of deceit

Tranquilize our denial

Vengeance is mine

Capitalize on regret

Kick aside what aspires

Vengeance is ours

Our defense won’t expire, so beware!
