[kj] Killing Joke - Lord Of Chaos (Lyric Video)

[Mark Kolmar]

Looks like floor scrapings from the last album. In that case, Pylon
sessions were extraordinarily productive. One doesn't get the sense Killing
Joke held back many finished tracks over the decades because songs didn't
fit the sound or theme or running time. To my taste, much of the latter-day
approach could use more dissonance, as opposed to more crunch, and a few
more metaphors in the lyrics. Worst case, we know someone is awake at their
end of the line!

>> Fatal attraction to bright lights and loud explosions
>> Insects will rule when we've had our go

>> Flash points everywhere and everybody's scared

>> And the Lord of Chaos is in
>> All things must pass, oceans bereft of life
>> A fungal bloom allows no light, the depths no longer rise
>> As we dine in streets of filth and close our eyes
>> While the world is burning
>> And all the seas rise
