We Are Time

The title track of the 2003 WAT CD, this version of We Are Time is a gin weak on audio but gets the job done.

We are no ordinary type of group
We are no humble pop musicians
We don''t seduce with melodies
And we're not here to please you
We have no answers to your questions
Yet we can question your demands
We don't intend to save your souls
Suspense is our device
We are time
We are time
We are time
We are time
From Moses to Muhammad,
From Kapital to Nato
Acropolis to opus dei,
From Marx and back to Plato
From the golden age to the age of steel,
From the begining to the end
From zero to infinity
The first to the seventh continent
From no solution to revolution,
The red star to star wars
The turning point to the point of no return,
New order to a brave new world
Mechanical to digital
From poltergeist to zeitgeist
From God's will to evil
And from superstars to the anti-christ
We are time
We are time
We are time
We are time
We are the thieves of the lost horizons
We are the mirror of the deadly curse
We shall give you nothing
And in return we'll take even less

But when our beat stops
And the lights go out
And when we leave this place
You will be left here all alone
With a static scream locked on your face
We are time
We are time
We are time
We are time

Now You Will Pay

The audio volume is low on this particular live version of the song, but here's another remarkably prescient Laibach track off the heralded 2003 WAT release.

Barbarians are coming
Crawling from the east,
(With their) eyes wide shut
And nostrils full of longing,
Epic and powerful,
Wild in a group,
Barbarians are coming
From the east.
They'll come out of nowhere,
They'll enter your state,
The nation of losers,
The tribe full of hate.
With knives in their pockets
And bombs in their hands,
They'll burn down your cities
And your disneylands.

[choir:]
Barbarians are coming, heading your way.
The evil is rising, kneel down and pray.

With third world hunger,
Sex drive in their brains,
They'll whisper your names
And scream in your face.
When they search for their space,
They'll turn into snakes,
And you're better off dead
if they crawl in your bed.

[choir:]
barbarians are coming, heading your way.
The evil is rising into your day.
Barbarians are coming, heading your way.
The evil is rising, kneel down and pray.

They'll conquer your country
And make you all slaves,
They'll burn down your houses
And rave at your graves.
You'd better get ready,
You'd better beware.
Banging at your windows,
Barbarians are here

[choir:]
Barbarians are coming, heading your way.
The evil is rising, kneel down and pray.
Barbarians are coming, heading your way.
Whatever you took from them -
Now you will pay
