The Intense Humming of Evil Lyrics

[Bridge]
Welcome welcome soldier smiling
Soon infected, nails broken, hunger’s a word

[Chorus]
6 Million screaming souls
Maybe misery - maybe nothing at all
Lives that wouldn't have changed a thing
Never counted - never mattered - never be

[Outro]
Drink it away, every tear is false
Churchill no different
Wished the workers bled to a machine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The penultimate track on The Holy Bible, this song was inspired by the Manics' visits to Dachau, Belsen and the Peace Museum in Hiroshima. It is a sister song of “Mausoleum”. It is perhaps the most unnerving track on the album, with James Dean Bradfield’s fractured guitar tone and Sean Moore’s chugging drum beat, whether intentionally or not, mirroring the sound of the train’s that would carry those prosecuted in the Holocaust to the death camps.
