HAWKWIND:   Sonic Attack

Sonic Attack

In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules:

If you are making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously.
Do not waste time blocking your ears.
Do not waste time seeking a "sound proofed" shelter.
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible
Do not panic
Do not panic

Use your wheels. It is what they are for.
Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons
and should be left, if possible, in shelters.
Do not attempt to use your own limbs.
If no wheels are available - metal - not organic -
limbs should be employed whenever practical.

Remember:
In the case of sonic attack survival means
"Every man for himself"
Statistically more people survive if they think
only of themselves
Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, loved ones
You have only a few seconds to escape
Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Do not panic
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself

These are the first signs of sonic attack:
You will notice small objects - such as ornaments - oscillating
You will notice vibrations in your diaphragm
You will hear a distand hissing in your ears
You will feel the need to vomit
You will feel dizzy
You will have difficulty focussing
You will need to breathe more rapidly
There will be bleeding from orifices
There will be an ache in the pelvic region
You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting or even laughter

These are all sign of imminent sonic destruction
Your only protection is flight
If you are less than ten years old
Remain in your shelter and use your cocoon
Remember - you can help no one else
You can help no one else
You can help no one else
Do not panic
Think only of yourself...

Rocky Paths

Rocky paths winding round the inspiration is to be found
Following us now with sound coming from earthy ground
Keepin' up an open mind, in everyone you'll find.
A part to help you climb, the walls built up by time.
Never close yourself to more, learn we can, that's for sure,
and it isn't hard to endure a heart that has an open door.

Silence is a virtue
And speaking is crime
If you're dumb you're happy
And if you're dumb you're mine
I've got you where I want you
I'll hold you till I'm through
Just listen to these words I'm giving you

Virgin Of The World

The fire's burned,
The ashes spread
The lifted light hears all that's said
We are undead

Angels Of Death

We're angels of life, we're angels of death,
We're born to blaze a nuclear way through space,
A way out of the waste that held the human race,
We're angels of life, we're angels of death.

We are the dead who are never led,
we are the warriors at the edge of time,
we lurk inside your brain we hide inside your mind,
We're angels of life, we're angels of death.

We stalk the city streets to kill all we meet,
nostrils flare awhile, it makes you want to smile

Living On A Knife Edge

Everytime I go out,
I think I'm bring checked out,
Faceless people watching on a TV screen
Do you begin to sense it,
Just beneath the surface
Reflections of a window
Whilst walking down the street
Computers are abused,
School records are fed
Police are checking on what you said
The number of your car's fed into a box
Your journey's being checked,
It's a paradox
Duplicate forms, and ID cards
Are next in line to disregard

Future generations are relying on us
It's a world we've made - Incubus

We're living on a knife edge,
Looking for the ground

Coded Languages

Investigate the meaning of your sentence
What is it telling you ?
Where does it begin
And where does it end ?
Question the nature of your orders
Question the nature of your orders
Question the nature of your orders
What do they want from you ?
A rendezvous upon the sound
The cars rev up the word goes round
The words are weapons of their will
Their words can hurt
Their words can kill
A burning phrase can burn a town
A syllable can bring you down
Their languages are coded
Your image is eroded
Listen to the sound you heard
Learn to fight against their word
Vocabularies of death
Destruction in their breath
They use the lie
They use the myth
Seek only to confuse
And liberty abuse
The lies they tell are pretty
And blow up another city
They steal away your freedom
And your love
Their sentimental calling signs
Are calculatingly designed
To rob you of your mind and time
And still you listen to
The lulling drone of reassuring voices
Tunes to take away your choices
Make you slaves to fancy words and phrases
Until you're pushing up the daisies
They steal away your freedom and your love

Disintegration

Is this the time gone before
Is this the way ?
No I'm not sure
Can I stop is it too late
Is this the place
Where I disintegrate

Streets Of Fear

What is this that I see here
You're walking through the streets of fear
What is this did I consent
Armed guard of punishment

What is life and what is death
You may laugh or gasp for breath
I ride the streets now filled with hate
Carve pathways through the lines of fate

With my energising ray
Power is the game I play
I can murder steal or rape
Panic is the rule I make

Lost Chances

Crystal evenings, long ago,
Twisted winds and weeping snow
We missed a turning in the past,
Is there anything that can last
The race is run, the time is right,
Get out your gun it's time to fight
And all our dreams just turn to dust,
Look to the future forget the past
Mistakes you've made can't be redeemed,
They are made because you dreamed a dream
Honest sunsets turn to paint,
The lie you tell becomes a taint
The house you built reverts to dust,
The sword you held it turns to rust
The lies you tell destroy your will,
The price you paid you're paying still
And the rocks in the river grow higher and higher
As the water gets lower and lower
There are ghosts in our lives that will not fade
There are ghosts in our lives that will not fade,
Until we've paid

Trans-Dimensional Man

Where the speed of light breaks thro'
Changing shapes distort the view
Red rimmed stars, teardrops of light
I can vanish into the night

With laser eyes I will awake
Panic is the rule I make
Trace my background identikit
A source of light which shall emit

I see what no one foretells
I can travel down to hell
I know what is often said
Written in the book of the dead

I can travel anyway
With my energising ray
And I'll visit in your room
Appearing from within the gloom
Watch me take you in your dreams
Cascading iridescent light beams
Fingers curling in the sun
Reaching for what has begun

Suddenly I hear all your lies
See all the secrets of 1000 eyes
But you may laugh or gasp for breath
What is life and what is death
