The Serenade Is Dead Lyrics

She wakes up in the morning
The sun is shining in her face
She turns her head around
She shares the blanket on which the love embraced

She looks out of the window
It's a lovely day outside
She tells herself that things are fine
He pulls the sheets to cover his eyes

The essence of the fresh air
That garden held the love affair
Thinking back their minds
Are torn in muddle and confusion

So far away another sits
Who tries to make the best of it
He don't know quite what's hit him
It's another love illusion

He gazes in his empty room
Eyes fixed upon her picture
The loneliness, dejectedness
God how the fuck he's missed her

His eyes turn turn to the window
The military roar by
He wonders how much hatred
Could evolve out of the sky

What God had done for peace on earth
What man destroyed from day of birth
They are concerned with feelings
They're just ashamed to cry

And one mans plan to push the button
Makes other sacrifice
The serenade is dead
And now the only question's why

Why when we are young
We're told it's right to love
Told it's human nature
And that comes from God above?

As time moves on we realize
That we all look from the pit
While a plan hangs above us
To keep us in the shit

Because the minute we are born
We're told what's right and wrong
Raised with certain morals
Never mentioned in their songs

As we grow up we find out that
The paths been neatly set
In a world of such destruction
We only can regret

Regret, that is the word of it
As we look for our way out of it
Why can't they understand
We don't want any part of it?

The pain they create everyday
That just ain't gonna go away
We've got to stick together
But still you're asking why?

The system stands strong
As our movement starts to crumble
The pressure we once held
Has just turned into a rumble

They've got us where they want us
And you all just accept that
Well, don't you think it's time
We started to hit back

They are the enemy
They want a rope around your neck
And if they will go that far
Then what the fuck is next?

Forget the revolution
We've heard it all before
Heard all of the promises
Of nineteen eighty four

It's an impossible task
Oh, yes, it stands before us all
Well, maybe you'll believe it
When your back's against the wall

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) a anarcho-punk band from South London.
2) an industrial metal band from Moscow, Russia.
3) a Japanese breakbeat artist
4) a gospel rap artist from Sacramento, CA.
5) an 80's hardcore band from Tucson, AZ.

1) Conflict is an anarcho-punk band originally based around Eltham in South London. Formed in 1981, the band's original line up consisted of: Colin Jerwood (vocals), Paco (drums), Big John (bass), Steve (guitars), Pauline (vocals), Paul AKA 'Nihilistic Nobody' (visuals). Their first release was the EP "The House That Man Built" on Crass Records. By the time they released their debut album It's Time To See Who's Who on Corpus Christi Records, Pauline and Paul had left the band. Conflict later set up their own Mortarhate label, which put out releases by other artists including Hagar The Womb, Icons of Filth, Lost Cherrees, The Apostles, Admit Your Shit and others.

In 1983 Steve Ignorant, at the time a member of the band Crass, guested on the band's pro-animal rights single "To A Nation of Animal Lovers." After the dissolution of Crass, Ignorant later became second vocalist for Conflict on a semi-permanent basis. This followed a 1986 gig in Brixton, London wherin he had joined the band on stage for a few numbers.

The band have always been outspoken regarding issues such as anarchism, animal rights, the anti-war movement and in their support for the organisation Class War, and a number of their gigs during the 1980s were followed by riots and disturbances. The band's 'Mortarhate' logo, originally designed by 'Nihilistic Nobody' is commonly mistaken as a reference to the initials CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament), but as quoted directly by paco the drummer for conflict is in actual fact a nihlist symbol. it incorporates two 'A's for anarchy and autonomy, and an 'N' for nihilism. The logo originally appeared around 1980 in Thanatos, a small circulation pamphlet produced by Toxic Graffity (sic) fanzine editor Mike Diboll.


The band continues to exist today, although their record releases and live performances are sporadic.

Violence?
With such a name as Conflict, most people would assume the title represents violence or war. Well, the name means just that, only in a different context. In such a world as the one we live in, corrupted by lust, abuse, addiction and a lack of sexual integrity, Conflict stands to counterattack society's ideas of morality, with God's divine purpose for His creation.

Vision
With a burden for today's generation of young people, Conflict's vision is to "speak life right into the face of death, and stand as an ambassador of Jesus Christ, to reconcile a love- relationship between God and His creation." Coming from a gang-related past and his father's fatal overdose of heroin, Conflict speaks a common language to young people of the urban culture

5) Conflict was a hardcore band from Tucson, AZ, together between 1982-1984. Fronted by the female vocalist/bassist Karen Allman, they played with the likes of Black Flag, Minor Threat, Ill Repute, Channel 3, D.O.A., and many more. They put out a self-released EP called "America's Right," then in 1983 they released their only studio album, "Last Hour" (on Placebo Records). They also have 3 songs on the compilation "This is Phoenix, Not the Circle Jerks." The band was known for their biting feminist lyrics in an era when hardcore was highly male-dominated.
