From Enslavement to Obliteration
Album - 1988 - Debaser id 9063

di Napalm Death

Delude yourself with the notion


That life's viewed defiantly through your eye


Subconsciously following the flock


From which appearance is the only exemption





The stagnant illusion of change


Concealed behind your disguise





What's perspicious on the surface


Is artificial inside


When views are merely symbolic


Of an image you hide behind





The stagnant illusion of change


Concealed behind your disguise
Il tuo voto:
A shroud of insecurity
Surrounds me every move
Actions reflect
Upon the response they receive

A sense of insecurity
Prevents my instincts being followed
Fear lies in my open-ness
Meeting rejection from the crowd

Why should I feel trapped?
Why should I hold back?
Why can't I...break free?
Il tuo voto:
A chronic complaint of dimness.
Prevails your profound ideology.
A romantic vision of a master race.
Attained through coercive forms of authority.

Your observance is negligence.
If you see the threat from difficult cultures.
We're all in this sinking ship.
Each of us together.

Where does the whiteman stand?
Where does the blackman stand?
Where do we all fucking stand/
Knee deep in the shit!

Lock into yourself and you'll find the real oppressor.
To a life of unchallenged hate.
It's yourself who's the "nigger"
Il tuo voto:
A vision of life
Where together we walk
Unbound from an existence
Of fear and pain

The key to which
Is self-contained
External freedom
Must evolve from liberation within

To gain respect
And see the qualities in all life
Forms the spark
Which strikes the light

When so minimal the loss
How great be the risk
In reaching out and reclaiming our souls?

But until we overcome
The uncertainty in our fellow man
The vision of hope
Remains an illusion

"You reach out and touch it. You feel it.
It is the life and love that is alive in you.
The feeling that is beyond thought
A feeling of truth.
Reality in you,
When it is reached, you can reach it in others.
This is the liberation. This is the unity.
Il tuo voto:
A clash of eyes, resets my mind
Perhaps this time

Retreat to nowhere
Retreat to nowhere

A social skill that I lack
Holds me back.

Retreat to nowhere
Retreat to nowhere
Il tuo voto:
Domesticate me


Into your ideal creation


Fondle me


When in need of attention





Brutalise me


As a target for your aggression





Inject me


With your putrid diseases


Stretch my senses


Beyond the peak of insanity





Why practice methods of prevention


When I can pay for your hideous mistakes?





Blind me


With cosmetic filth


To form the mask that hides your guilt


Insecure, uncaring clowns


Your dolled-eyes don't see


The suffering I've prolonged


For your wretched vanity





Chew on my flesh


With perverted lust


Display to me


The depths of your compassion





As you excrete


My digested corpse


Into the shit-pan


My place of rest.
Il tuo voto:
Commited to a life of slavery
In the factories our own hands have built
Where we must work twice the graft
Before gaining the goods we've already slogged to create

To consume all things material
Stands above human compassion
As we compete with our fellow man
In the bid for a stronger position

In our ruthless search for prosperity
We become the tools of our own oppression
Forming the backbone of a society
That thrives on mass division

From enslavement
To obliteration.
Il tuo voto:
Time for my omittance, from a sterile existence.
Where the weekend pays homage to stereotypical perpetuation.

Must inebriate my senses into a state of delirium.
Before I turn to the meatrack from my penile selection.

Apathy spreads in unison with sexual disease.
A scourge that infests the cattle markets of youth.

Unconscious, just promiscuous.
Deprived of self respect.
In the selling of their bodies.
All emotions dead.

Thoughts absorbed.
Lost in sense of direction.
It's time to sit down.
And re - assess my course of action
Il tuo voto:
So this ordeal we're subjected to
Is all part of being (in) love?
Two minds of intense confusion
Contained in feelings of spite and mistrust

The closer one of us tries to get
The further the (other) seems to move

Tangled in trapped emotions
Can't face the prospect of rejection
Uncertainty arouses suspicion
Of your mind I want possession

I try to be honest with you
But are you being honest with me?
Il tuo voto:
Your aspirations, unable to stretch,
Beyond the barriers of what's expected,
As the free thought you were born with
Becomes externally polluted.

Lose sight of your ideals
In their brainwashing institutions,
Predetermine your values
To befit your substandard existence...
Discouraging creativity,
To aim for empty ambitions.

Living up to others expectations.
Takes hold of your assiduity.

Mentally murdered!

Always up to the mark,
Set the wheels in motion,
A fake sense of security
From your invariable position.

Sinking in the crowd,
A face minus expression.
A mouth that echoes words,
Recycled from tradition.

Your only contentness
Is in living a lie.

Mentally murdered!

Do you possess the strength
To re-create your own life?
Il tuo voto:
Sometimes when inattentive
I become confused by my own actions
Slow to see in myself
The faults I'm quick to see in others

Barricaded with problems
I try to hide my face
By submitting my strength
To a mind-destroying substance

But why do I run
When it's myself I try to escape?
Why don't I possess the strength
To learn from my mistakes?

The only way to overcome your fears
Is to look them in the eye!

To be aware of ones faults

Is essential if they're to be corrected
When you lack the desire to change
The anguish becomes abundant
