Lanterns
Killing Joke Lyrics
Equinox sun. Summers of fun
No mortgage repayments to weigh my mind
And if it all fell through tomorrow
Put my pack on my back
And it's home where the lunatics roam
Faith, faith moved a mountain
Where the rivers are so clean
And the consciousness so green
And the luminous folk shine like
Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope
Ribbons of wishes, tied to the trees
Hives full of honey, yield to the seed
And if it all fell through tomorrow
Put my pack on my back
And it's home where the lunatics roam
Faith, faith moved a mountain
Where the rivers are so clean
And the consciousness is so green
And the luminous folk shine like
Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope
And if it all fell through tomorrow
Put my pack on my back
And it's home where the lunatics roam
Faith, faith moved a mountain
Where the rivers are so clean
And the consciousness is so green
And the luminous folk shine like
Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope
Fire, fire light the lantern
When we drink from the streams
And we grow our own greens
And the fences have all been torn down
Lanterns of hope, shine on
Lanterns of hope, shine on
Lanterns of hope, shine on
Lanterns of hope, shine on
Lanterns of hope, shine on
Lanterns of hope, shine on
Lanterns of hope, shine on
Lanterns of hope, shine on

Killing Joke is an English post-punk group which formed in October 1978 in Notting Hill, London, England. Founding members Jaz Coleman (vocals, keyboards) and Geordie Walker (guitars) have been the only constant members.
A key influence on industrial rock, their early music was described by critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and John Dougan as well as industrial metal and "quasi-metal, dancing to a tune of doom and gloom," which gradually evolved over the years Read Full BioKilling Joke is an English post-punk group which formed in October 1978 in Notting Hill, London, England.

A key influence on industrial rock, their early music was described by critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and John Dougan as well as industrial metal and "quasi-metal, dancing to a tune of doom and gloom," which gradually evolved over the years, incorporating elements of electronic music, synth-pop, gothic rock, and alternative rock, though always emphasizing Coleman's "savagely strident vocals."
Finding modest commercial success, Killing Joke have influenced many later bands, such as Nirvana, Ministry, Amen, Lamb of God, Nine Inch Nails, Napalm Death, Amebix, Big Black, Godflesh, Tool, Prong, Metallica, Primus, Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Faith No More, Blacklist, Shihad and Korn, all of whom have at some point cited some debt of gratitude to Killing Joke.

i dont understand why some people consider democracy a weak killing joke record, i love it and cant get enough of it!
Fat Man Jackson
Its badly mixed. But I agree, its a great album, just could have been "cleaner".
Ryan Broome

Simone SS

Simone SS
All of your replies are quite right. 👍
I was talking musically, btw..
Even if I speak english and I can understand the lyrics ,there's a big difference.

Or hold a revolution for the future of all generations to come. Life is not meant to be wasted on corporate slavery where you get nothing after working yourself to the bone.
Phil Renaud
It speaks to someting you secretly desire........probably a desire to leave the rat race and live a simple life off the land in a cabin with a garden and a warm fire beside a lake or river. My guess.
The Quality of Mercy
I really dont care what people think Democracy is a great Killing Joke album imo :)
Slim Moses
Mystic Aura. Its maybe my favorite
Louise McGee
I met jaz one time during hard times and told him this was my favourite. The song kept me going and I got through those times. Lovely song....always
