And another one down for the homeland
Let the freedom ring out loud
One by one an endless parade of
Homecoming coming home under a shroud
Do you know even what we’re fighting for?
Nothing makes money like making war
So fear for your nation
At our invitation
Lay down the lives of
The few, the proud, the sinners
For God and country, blood to shed
The winners of the wars
Will be held on high in glory forever and ever
Is this human nature?
In the shadow in certain destruction
Indoctrinate your children well
Give them their hatred and violent desires
And if they get lucky they’ll go straight to hell
Another brainless soldier sent to die
For an oligarchy built on self-perpetuating lies
For the motherland, for the motherland
She loves you
She lives on the lives of
The few, the proud, the sinners
For God and country, blood to shed
The winners of the wars
Will be held on high in glory forever and ever
Is this human nature?
Do you really know who your heroes are?
They say you shouldn’t meet them, it’s much better by far
To turn away and blindly worship the false ideal of the flag you are under.
So fight for your honor and fight for your homeland
Relish destruction, we need your support and
Your loyal compliance, and constant reliance
On everything we do, we don’t do it for you
Another brainless soldier sent to die
For an oligarchy built on self-perpetuating lies
For the motherland, for the motherland
For the motherland
She’s fed by the lives of
The few, the proud, the sinners
For God and country, blood to shed
The winners of the wars
Will be held on high in glory forever and ever
Is this human nature?
Do you really know who your heroes are?
They say you shouldn’t meet them, it’s much better by far
To turn away and blindly worship the false ideal of the flag you are under

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
