Killing Joke Lyrics

Album: Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

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
