So, I had to write out all the lyrics for the people releasing the album in Germany, so I thought I may as well post them on here, seeing as a few people had asked.
I had to guess a few times, and there are one or two holes, so any suggestions would be warmly recieved.
Tomas de Torquemada
Inquisition!
Tighten the rack, we'll make them crack!
Add on more weight. Limbs dislocate!
Forced Confession!
Inquisition!
Hammer of Heretics, Light of Spain, Saviour of His Country, Honour of His Order: Spanish Inquisition. Judas Iscariot sold Christ for fifty pieces of silver. Your Highness is about to do the same, just for more. Here he is take him and sell him!
Hammer of Heretics! Light of Spain! Saviour of His Country! Honour of His Order: Spanish Inquisition! Honour of His Order! Hammer of Heretics! Light of Spain!
Set books aflame! Forbid it all! Expel the Jews! Convert the Moors!
Forced confession, execution, fear the Spanish Inquisition!
Joseph Stalin
Your grain's our grain. Your land's our land. Must adhere to the five year plan.
Industrialisation is required to compete with the modern world.
(Currency not required, live off exchange of goods)
Collectivisation is our new way of life.
(Currency not required, live off exchange of goods)
You must cooperate!
(Enemy of the state!)
Glory to Stalin the Great!
Sentenced by NKVD Troikas. Enemy of The Russian People. Sent to work: Tortured in gulag camps. Enemy of The Russian People.
Invented plot to frame the Trotskyite traitors. Executed; made to disappear. Proof of innocence means nothing when guilt is arbitrary.
It's not stealing. We're all starving. All freedom, drowning in your river of blood.
Hush dissenting grain hoarders!
George W Bush Jr
A story preceding the story we all know:
Clemency denied!
(Please sign here. You gon' die)
Oversimplified!
(Gonzales checked off lives)
Checked thoroughly?
(I don't fucking think so!)
Sentences deserved?
(Not in a million years)
Value every life?
(I don't fucking think so)
Made the Record Books.
Snuck in The White House
You decide, you take lives.
(152)
Snuck in The White House through the back door.
Now he is the most powerful man in The World.
Nicolae Ceaucescu
Tear them down!
Demolish old buildings to make space for new buildings to fill with tiny comrades.
Have Children! More Children!
Ceaucescu has amassed an unaffordable loan to pay for all buildings and all of the oversized families.
Families are starving while the food is shipped out. The darkened shelves are empty and the house is getting colder.
Blackout!
The television says that nobody's going to starve, but supposed record harvests never make it to the hungry people who have HIV and orphans in the streets.
A smiling leader in denial flanked by secret police.
Saparmurat Niyazov
Chew on bones, shave your beard, read the book, learn the rules.
Idolise giant rotating statue: look at him, turning to face the sun all day long.
Made from gold: twelve metre high spinning dictator.
Let us build an Ice Palace, just for you, so you can learn to ice skate.
Turkmenbashi, Father of the Turkmen!
Censorship: There is no internet.
Brainwashing: Children made to read the book. Trained from birth to praise Turkmenbashi.
Turkmenbashi, Father of the Turkmen!
King Leopold II
Righteous invasion!
White Man's Empire!
Take it over!
March on up the Congo tapping rubber for an absent King.
(Must be done quicker!)
Fingers shredding, children snatched and still they keep us marching on.
Can't go on!
Soldiers feasting in luxury.
Natives dying in the dirt.
Hands smashed up with rifles against trees, just corpses marching on.
Work them hard, all day long.
They're not people, it's not wrong.
Pass the blame to the top.
Follow orders. Not your fault. Brutal torture without thought.
Righteous Empire!
White Man's Empire!
Take it over!
Henry VIII
The House of Tudor, Henry: Supreme head of the Church of England, beheader of His wives.
Excommunicated from the Catholic Church!
Dissolution!
Monastery reformation!
Valuable mead-money sapped by the pope. Money for places demanded by Rome.
Church of England!
Who are these girls? Bring me a son! Suitable heir. Fruit of my loins, healthy and strong. Weaklings, no good!
Protest!
Severed from the Catholic Church.
It's not me, it is you, barren womb.
It's not me, it is you, equals doom!
Birth burdens your rule.
Syphilitic, ulcerated, at death's door, wracked with illness, festering greed, always more!
Never learned that women aren't just baby-makers, queuing up for execution.
Augusto Pinochet
Blow the palace up!
Dispatch the rockets!
Surround the place with tanks!
Depose Allende!
Must destroy The Reds!
Install Pinochet!
Millitary rule!
Supreme Chief of the Nation!
Outlawing opposition, removing competition, execution helicopter: the caravan of death.
A tour of Chile's prisons. A journey of barbarism, headed by Arellano, Gozales, Larios and Brito.
Villa Grimaldi: Centre of interrogation. Tortured them for information. DINA.
Electric grilles, 'Chilli Houses', the torture of their loved ones while they lie there, helpless. The guards strum their guitars while the inmates cry out and the claustrophobic nightmare, The Tower.
Operation Condor: You're not safe anywhere.
Help from the CIA.
We have spies everywhere.
Letelier blown up in his car, now the world is watching.
A referendum spells the beginning of the end.
Democratic elections are favoured over military dictatorship.
Si o No? It's up to you.
Pol Pot
A return to the land.
Primitive way of life.
Internet is outlawed.
Sort the wheat from the chaff, shrink the population, dig your hole in the ground.
To keep you is no benefit.
To destroy you is no loss.
Shrink the population, dig your hole in the ground.
Sort the wheat from the chaff, shrink the population, dig your hole in the ground.
Mustn't waste the bullets.
Kill with other methods.
Bury them together.
Purify the nation.
Stamp out useless learning.
Facilitate the system.
Long live Kampuchea!
Idi Amin
Why can he not return?
(Glorious President!)
To end where he began?
(His excellency!)
Grant him this final wish.
(Field Marshall, AlHaji Doctor)
To return from exile.
(Our decorated hero!)
Here's why not:
Torture selected by racial hatred.
Furthermore:
The volume of bodies clogged the Owen Falls Hydroelectric Dam.
Major medals self awarded.
Overthrew Aboti.
Dismembered unfaithful wife.
One of many.
This is brutal, irrational, erratic, inept, ridiculous, militaristic. In the words of Thomas Patrick Malady: This is brutal, irrational, erratic.
Ariel Sharon
Exercise your right to return.
Dwell this land rightfully ours.
Build a wall and push them out forever.
Bulldoze all the people's homes, in the name of security.
We'll reclaim our ancient land, bestowed upon us by God himself!
A land without a people, for a people without a land.
A land full of people, for a people out of hand.
Exercise your chance to remain.
Dwell this land rightfully ours.
Build a wall and push us out forever.
Where do we go now? Where do we go now?
Endless negotiations and territorial disputes. Without your Big Brother, who would have the upper hand?
A land without a people, for a people without a land.
A land full of people, for a people out of hand.
How much land will you occupy before you are satisfied?
Ivan the Terrible
Boyars plot to rule the nation.
Kremlin based incarceration.
Ivan too young, keep on waiting.
Protected by God!
Left Vulnerable!
Random killings make me more like God.
Divine torture of the innocent.
Like God, I kill indiscriminately.
From dropping kittens out of windows and maiming birds to killing human beings without remorse.
Boyars poisoned my wife, Ana.
Poisoned!
One day your temper will ruin you.
You have a bad relationship with your daughter in law.
You beat her up for not wearing much (lost the baby).
Your son came round in a rage, shouting, very angry.
You beat him down with a stick, he died.
Accidental.
Cheers,
Pete
