War Machine was written and recorded in 2007 in Third World Studios in Qatif, Saudi Arabia. This track is a product of random riffs we decided to bunch up together one day. The outcome was surprisingly solid as we found we had a basis for a large-scale grindcore epic.
lyrics
A world built for destruction,
Engineered by war, fine-tuned for profit,
The cycle is endless, resistance is worthless,
A new leader takes the throne, a conspiracy reborn,
Society in the palm of warfare,
Fuel for the war machine,
Society in the grasp of war,
Live for your war machine,
Enslaved by a system regardless of justice,
With currency and trade as their weapons of war,
Chosen by the free, elected by the puppeteers,
Death to you all, traitors, death to you all,
Society in the palm of warfare,
Fuel for the war machine,
Society in the grasp of war,
You live for your war machine,
Give your lives to the war machine,
This plague is overwhelming,
They decide what you believe,
Until they’ve poisoned you all,
This plague depicts you helpless,
Contamination spreads disease,
Your system’s message is ‘Death to you all!’

'A World Lit Only By Fire' is an angry and gloomy motherfucker. From the start, you're being battered with pummeling, gritty low end, piercing dissonance and industrial cold. It paints a dystopian picture in my mind - of bulldozers slowly crawling through a wasteland and people hiding in sheer panic, hungry and desperate for a glimpse of hope. But in 'A World Lit Only By Fire', there is no such thing. Simon Sludge

Dur de définir qu'elle est le meilleur album de GODFLESH, en fait ils ont tous leur singularité. Je trouve que sur cet album GODFLESH a atteint une sorte de perfection à leur musique, à la fois froide, brutale et industrielle mais aussi envoûtante et mentale. Cet album est un condensé du meilleur de GODFLESH, c'est pour moi l'album de la consécration. Je vais mettre "BE GOD" en titre préféré pour sa puissance, lourde et complètement mystique mais tous les titres sont excellents. gaston_macoute
