Into the Wind - New Model Army

We went to see the fall of Rome, I thought it would please us

To watch how the mighty go in a blaze of hubris

But I just stood there hypnotised by all the beautiful madness

Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind

Last night I dreamed that we built a fire in a wild garden

We took all the holy books and we burned them

All those pages to ashes, every last one of them

Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind

Everything under the sun shall be harnessed

Forced to push and pull and endure like unwilling horses

All for the ceaseless construction of Man’s Great Purpose

Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind

And in the Market Square they’re still stacking the shelves

I’m screaming: I don’t want anything, I don’t need anything

I don’t want anything, I don’t need anything
