Rubicon / 'Brighter Than A Thousand Suns' (1986), #9
Killing Joke - Rubicon Lyrics
The age of miracles, assent of man in strident tones Realms of fantastic have been forged by folly speed and steel Out of the cones stream forth, creation is not yet complete New species come, old species fall to nature once again.
Now that I've found god on every side - and in every legion
Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon
The shipyards blaze, vibrant arsenals wait their turn Idols of rational worlds to worship power, to worship strength Great crowds excited by riot, pleasure, work Insane crusades, destructive gesture of the freedom bringers And all the bells shall toll, as holy banners fly And all with talk of freedom
Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon
Let rage and hate of races run from Adam down The magic of our science shines brighter than a thousand suns Liberty in new dimensions ruthless and spectacular Obliteration shall be poetry of 'Golden Dwans' And as the people thrill, I stand and comprehend upon the threshold.
Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon
