Primal Scream - Deep Dark Waters (Official Visualiser)

Follow Primal Scream:

Directed by Douglas Hart.

Lyrics:
Echoes from the past 
Day by day reminders 
We swore “they shall not pass” 
I fear the worst shall surely find us 
 
The future bent and spent  
In dark enlightenment 
The “people they have spoken”  
The serpents egg cracked open 
Bodies washed up on the beach 
Children drowning out of reach 
Hear the children cry 
 
This ship is sailing 
Into deep dark waters 
All systems are failing 
We go like cattle to the slaughter 
To the slaughter… 
 
Shadows from the past 
Cancelling the future 
We thought we’d seen the last 
Of the Euro high class butchers 
 
The fate of mice and men 
We’re sleepwalking again 
Into a mess of our own making 
The barricades are shaking 
This time in business suits 
Not in helmets or jackboots 
Pull the trees out by the roots 
And shake the ground with thunder 
  
This ship is sailing 
Into deep dark waters 
All systems are failing 
We go like cattle to the slaughter 
To the slaughter… 
 
Our fortress continent 
Our values torn and bent 
We bomb and when they run 
We tell them they can’t come 
Just like in World War two 
We showed no pity on the Jews 
We othered them as well 
Abandoned them to hell 
We say ‘they’re not welcome here” 
“send them all back there’ 
Where’s the enlightenment 
In our crime / their punishment ? 
Our fortress continent 
Built on Colonial theft 
Our European mess… 
 
This ship is sailing 
Into deep dark waters 
All systems are failing 
We go like cattle to the slaughter 
To the slaughter… 
 
Gangsters in uniform 
Praying for the coming storm 
Judeo-Christian soldiers 
Waiting for the orders 
To storm the citadels 
Insurgents fight the infidels 
Make a martyr of your son 
Teach him how to shoot a gun 
Pack his schoolbag with a bomb 
And keep praying to your god 
Because God is on your side 
Will your life be sacrificed 
To an old man in the sky?  
But to meet him you must die 
 
This ship is sailing 
Into deep dark waters  
Wise men are bailing 
We go like cattle to the slaughter 
To the slaughter….

Never got into Primal Scream much, but I like this track. Got a bit of a Bowie/Psychedelic Furs vibe going on

[Ragazzoedimburgo]

Amazing. All this fuss over oasis (ok sure, that’s good too) but a new song from the scream is amaaazing news.

you don’t need to die to connect with God. Look up. Get your eyes off the world and all the trauma here. You’ll see the light. Seek and you’ll find. Love this song! Love your music in general. And Love ya’ll 🩵🩵🩵
