After Cease To Exist Lyrics

You can always aim to be as skillful as the most professional of government agencies
The way you live, structure, conceive, and market what you do, should be as well thought out as a government coup
It's a campaign
It has nothing to do with art

A manifesto of sorts for TG's militaristic approach in the industrial movement to provoke and inspire individual thought. Crass took the same approach as well, and that certainly worked, though everybody seems preoccupied with art more than campaigning for anarchy. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course, but the new artistic, magickal incarnation of TG probably can't come up with a counterpart for Discipline.

For those who are wondering about the actual song it's a 27 minute instrumental which was played live paired with obscure short films. I'm not so sure about the films themselves but they're probably searchable on youtube.

Composition wise, the song is a slow instrumental piece which keeps on going with various electronic sounds and bass guitars in the distance, nothing else. Occasionally you'll hear scary sounds and screams but those are from samples.

It's a nice apocalyptic sounding piece which would go well with some after shots of ruins (or something).
