Conscript Lyrics by Ritual (Post Punk)

Kangaroo Court

1983

Contract to kill
Wade through the marshes
Crawl through dead wasteland
Endless hell shells your senses
Fight for your country
In patriotic fervour
Underneath the starched perfection
There is a heart and soul
Tangled in the strings of the master
The puppets stand to attention
Burn a village, napalm a town
Release the tension
Bodies merged for warmth
Terrain, an optical sewer
Sentenced without a choice
We're all prisoners of war
Death lies in a forgotten grave
The unknown soldier
Except to friends and lovers
All that's left is a lonely epitaph
Blood soaked soil
Forgotten names
Die in numbers
Blood soaked soil
Forgotten names
Die in sweat and toil
Here you lie forever in foreign soil
