The Ilk Of Human Blindness Lyrics - Singles - Skyclad

Midsummer 2045 they lay upon 

The beaches burning 

Insects on a ball of rock 

Upon it's axis slowly turning 

Steel and concrete melanomas 

Punctuate the hot sunrise 

Spines now chilled by global warming 

Microwave their last goodbyes. 

For sixty years or more they say 

Mankind had known there'd come a day 

When there would be a price to pay. 

"Square Eyes" watched 

The fools game show 

The first to go and last to know 

Sat eating junkfood on death row 

(Feeding the fall of the human empire)

No prophet cast the money lenders 

From their polystyrene temples 

Noone heard the penny drop 

All interest shown was incidental. 

Pity the chairman of the board 

For all these years he's piled his hoard 

But penniless he'll meet the lord 

As all the world prepares to die 

He stands before the needles eye 

Whilst countless millions pass him by 

(Fleeing the fall of the human empire) 

Recalling all those wasted hours 

Of motions passed and minutes taken 

Maybe now he feels remorse 

For all the souls he has forsaken. 

Photos 

Silhouettes of living corpses 

Remnants of a transcient race 

March toward the red horizon 

Evanesce without a trace. 

The proud rub shoulders with the meek 

On debris littered city streets 

They fight like dogs for scraps to eat 

The welfare state's in dissaray 

All social order slips away 

The "Primrose Path" lead to decay 

(The Curtain falls on the human empire) 

Codes of conduct redefine 

As justice turns to legal crime 

These monsters masked by human features 

Are by far the blindest creatures.
