The Square Coliseum Songtext
von Ilsa

The square coliseum
Sprayed clean every morning
Instrumental violence
Washed in the blood of the lamb

Fields of visions
Forced perspective
Changes views
Channel force

Roma de travertino
Refatta de cartone
Cinema "Mondo Cane"
Teatro de cartone

Cardboard cut-outs
set the stage

Exploitation′s
Golden age


Modern Deus-Machina
Cue the crowd's eyeroll
Hard hearts demanding something
worthy to extoll

Capitalism′s tricks
Old pranks the rich have played
Patriotism's sick
To rest it must be laid

New mass-amphetamines
needed for control
As Temples of the Silver Screen's
candles cease to glow

Instrumental violence
Proclamations bellow

Precariat
Sans-Cullote
Citizens all

of the Square Coliseum

Washed in the cream
of the blood of the lamb
In the Square Coliseum
