Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)- The The

J’aurais pu choisir d’autres chansons de The The…”Slow Emotion Replay”, “Whisperers”, “Dogs of Lust”… autant de morceaux de Matt Johnson que j’ai écouté et réécouté des centaines de fois, qui m’ont inspiré, ému ou réjoui…Mais cette chanson-là est spéciale. Déjà parce qu’elle ne ressemble à aucune autre musicalement; mais aussi pour le message qu’elle délivre. Matt Johnson prend le contexte des croisades pour fustiger ceux qui tuent au nom de Dieu.

C’est une chanson toute en décalage. J’adore!

Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)-The The

 Are u ready Jesus ? Uhu

 Buddah? Yeah

 Mahomet ? Okay

 We’re all right fellas…Let’s go!

They're 5 miles high
As the crow flies
Leavin' vapour trails
Across a blood red sky
Movin' in from the East
Towards the West
With balaclava helmets
Over their heads
YES!

But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey, you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hijacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave

Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on it's elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message
And worships the creeds

"It's War" she cried
"It's War" she cried
"This is War!"
Drop your possessions
All you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches
in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord
For raising the Union Jack
You'll watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
Watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back

If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest
Behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows
Upon the human heart
But God didn't build himself that throne
God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
God doesn't belong to the Yankee dollar
God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn't even go to church
And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it's sown

Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on it's elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message
And worships the creeds
The world is on it's elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message
And worships the creeds

Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon Days Are HERE!!!
