Brotherhood Of Man Lyrics

Now your time has come
The storm of iron in the sky
War and murder come again
Lucky if you die
No way to rescue destiny
Scream and curse in vain
You will never be remembered
No one knows your name

When the music changes
Then all is broken down
Mighty cities laid to ruin
Burning to the ground
Murder has become the law
You cannot make a stand
Chaos rules the world now, mortal
Brotherhood of man

You cannot hide the truth from me
I know what's in your heart
Greed and jealousy, each equal
All your days now dark
Mighty mountains fall in dust
The world falls into hell
Faith in lying prophets
No one to lift the spell

Monsters rule your world
Are you too scared to understand?
You shall be forever judged
And you shall surely hang
We live and scrape in misery
We die by our own hands
And still we murder our own children
Brotherhood of man

Blood on all our hands
We cannot hope to wash them clean
History is mystery
Do you know what it means?
Slaughter, kill, and fighting still
And murdered where we stand
Our legacy is lunacy
Brotherhood of man

We are worse than animals
We hunger for the kill
We put our faith in maniacs
The triumph of the will
We kill for money, wealth, and lust
For this we should be damned
We are disease upon the world
Brotherhood of man

Cover art for Brotherhood Of Man lyrics by Motörhead

Lyric referencing Nazi Germany? One clue is the line 'We put our faith in maniacs, the triumph of the will'. 'The Triumph of the Will' was a 1930's Nazi propaganda film, 'We put our faith in maniacs' (maniac=Hitler). The rest of the lyrics talking about death and destruction could very aptly describe the merciless Nazi war machine.

My Interpretation

@tylerdurden2

I respectfully disagree. Nazi Germany, the one and only Holocaust, is but a blip on the radar of Human atrocities committed against other Humans.
