A complete 360 a complete return
With no excuses and no concerns
The ultra heavy beat is going strong
If it feels this good then it can't be wrong
Karma, echo, and eternity
What's good for you is still good for me
And after all we're not looking back
We manipulate the future to stay on track
Damned if you do and damned if you don't
You better seize the moment before its gone
The ultra heavy beat goes on and on
When it's all said and done, this is what you want
The vision direction reflecting perfection
The manifesto translates post mortem
Buried alive and left for dead
One step back is two steps ahead
<i>Chorus
Rise from the ashes and decay
Rise from the prison of your grave
Rise above the standard and the norm
Rise into the eye of the storm
RISE!</i>
Raise the flag carry the blame
The more things change the more they stay the same
The king is dead long live the king
Mayhem Riot Uprising
A small step for mankind! A giant leap for rock and roll
We control the rhythm the beat cops are on patrol
Wake up people get on your feet
It's time to do your part for the ultra heavy beat
<i>Chorus</i>
Shoulder to shoulder Back to Back
All guns ablaze systematic attack
Strong and rigid Bold and Vivid
Spread the news the ego has landed
Metal Dectectors
Drugtests
Curfews
Don't let the system continue to rape you
Vodka and Benzene
Destroy the machines
The glorious end justifies the means!
<i>Chorus x 2</i>
Rise! (x 10)
With no excuses and no concerns
The ultra heavy beat is going strong
If it feels this good then it can't be wrong
What's good for you is still good for me
And after all we're not looking back
We manipulate the future to stay on track
You better seize the moment before its gone
The ultra heavy beat goes on and on
When it's all said and done, this is what you want
The manifesto translates post mortem
Buried alive and left for dead
One step back is two steps ahead
Rise from the ashes and decay
Rise from the prison of your grave
Rise above the standard and the norm
Rise into the eye of the storm
RISE!</i>
The more things change the more they stay the same
The king is dead long live the king
Mayhem Riot Uprising
We control the rhythm the beat cops are on patrol
Wake up people get on your feet
It's time to do your part for the ultra heavy beat
All guns ablaze systematic attack
Strong and rigid Bold and Vivid
Spread the news the ego has landed
Drugtests
Curfews
Don't let the system continue to rape you
Destroy the machines
The glorious end justifies the means!

This song, to me anyways, is both a protest song, and a song about the band KMFDM.
Every KMFDM album has at least one "ego song" ("Inane", "Light", "DIY", "Megalomaniac", etc). This is ATTAK's. As annoying as Skold is, this is a fun song. I'll probably get tired of it pretty soon.
laughs at gasmask's comment on Skold I LOVE this song, even if it IS an 'ego song'! But you're right, Skold is pretty annoying :)
Attak is an amazing album! Kmfdm did it yet agian!they keep getting better and better!this song may be an "ego" song,but you do gotta love it! it has amazing lyrics and an awesome beat!Sascha and Skold are great!
It should be:
A FULL 360 a complete return
Raise the flag carry the FLAME
Spread the news the EAGLE has landed
that's what I got out of the song. I am pretty sure the rest of this is correct, but with Skold's distorted voice, it's hard to tell.
