Killing Joke - Unto the Ends of the Earth lyrics

In bleak and empty places we can
Watch from a greater distance
- the credulous delighting in every nation

Don't lose your sense of humour
Entertain the wildest thoughts
We can walk for miles and
Miles without seeing anybody
Some country rare and blessed
Away from this confusion
No message for the masses only you and me

The long winter is coming and instinct is
Telling me to fly towards the south
I want to be in a place of beginnings
Not endings!
Forget all your belongings - leave the city
Come unto the ends of the earth with me

All our friends and relatives fell
For neatly packaged policies
And we shuddered at the headline
Newsflash of the tensions in the Middle East
You know as well as I
Do detente can't last forever
Or overpopulation me? I'd rather watch

Peace of mind is my priority
The long winter is coming and instinct is
Telling me to fly towards the south
I want to be in a place of beginnings
Not endings!
Forget all your belongings - leave the city
Come unto the ends of the earth with me
