Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jewels drip red and I don't sound proud Treason is ambition I want dead procession All we got unholy left-overs of a compromise Leaving us like butterflies trapped in frost (Bow down) [Chorus] Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you [Verse 2] England's glory lives on in world wide genocide So celebrate Buchenwald as her majesty's heir Now an obsolete face on a currency of illusion No matter what we own we can't buy freedom [Chorus] Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you [Bridge] Throw myself against you cause you ain't frail Underneath silk riches sixty six million giving slaves This needle of religion's gonna rust in my skin Tear out and exit obeyance of created sin [Chorus] Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you, baby [Verse 3] Faces pressed at gates of anniversary torture Without these fake images we'd never bow down Don't need this history but we still accept Conscripted into a past that invents our guilt [Chorus] Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you Ceremonial rape machine Love won't corrode you [Outro] Hello, future You're my lover [Guitar Solo]
