Symbolic Gesture Lyrics


Unrelenting storm of steel

All around me I can feel

The thunder of crushing war

Knee deep in a tide of gore

But we will wash away the filth

Here where racist blood now spills

An ocean of squalid crimson

A brackish grave for all of fascism

SYMBOLIC GESTURE

TO WIN AT ANY MEASURE

OFFER THE OLIVE BRANCH

PULL THE TRIGGER WITH THE OTHER HAND

SYMBOLIC GESTURE

KILL THEM AT ANY MEASURE

NO SYMPATHY FOR NAZIS

WATCH THEM SWING FROM THE OLIVE TREES

And as the levees break

Floods of red of those who've raped

Waves of scarlet from the fascist dead

Out to sea the corpses are led

A massive abyss of stagnant blood

Mixed with petrol, bodies, and muck

Raise the olive branch above your head

Set it alight and watch the burning dead

SYMBOLIC GESTURE

TO WIN AT ANY MEASURE

OFFER THE OLIVE BRANCH

PULL THE TRIGGER WITH THE OTHER HAND

SYMBOLIC GESTURE

KILL THEM AT ANY MEASURE

NO SYMPATHY FOR NAZIS

WATCH THEM SWING FROM THE OLIVE TREES
