Stronger than reason
Stronger than lies
The only truth I know
Is the look in your eyes
The look in your eyes!
Just like a car crash
Just like a knife
My favourite weapon
Is the look in your eyes
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
There's a ton locked in your empty eyes
Get out of my life!
I'm chewing on glass
And eating my fingers
I'm not the one
Who's run out of lies
Lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of time!
Cutting my face
And walking on splinters
I lost my soul
To the look in your eyes
Your eyes!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of time!
Stigmata!
O, you have empty eyes!...
They tell me nothing, nothing but lies

The Missing
The missing
He's missing, they took him away!
The last days
The sinking shunned
The last rites
Of what we have done
So watch yourself
And watch what you say
The martyr dies
So what's at stake?
He takes it for granted
His time's gonna come
He's missing, they took him away!
Watch yourself!
The missing!
He's missing, they took him away!
The last days
The time has come
The last rites
Of what we've become
So watch yourself
And watch what you say
The martyr dies
So what's at stake?
He takes it for granted
His time's gonna come
He's missing, they took him away!
Watch yourself!
They took him away!
He's missing, they took him away!
The last days
The sinking shunned
The last rites
Of what we have done
So watch yourself
And watch what you say
The martyr dies
So what's at stake?
He takes it for granted
His time's gonna come
He's missing, they took him away!
Watch yourself!
The missing!
He's missing, they took him away!
The last days
The time has come
The last rites
Of what we've become
So watch yourself
And watch what you say
The martyr dies
So what's at stake?
He takes it for granted
His time's gonna come
He's missing, they took him away!
Watch yourself!
They took him away!

Eyes open
Empty as halos
He comes for me

Empty as halos
He comes for me

Help- what's the matter?
Looking for someone?
He comforts me

If you say so
He comes for me
Let's pray
To TV divinity
He covets me

The Land Of Rape And Honey
Face to face
Blood to blood
The mountain
You tumbled from
And in the land of rape and honey
You pray
Blood to blood
The mountain
You tumbled from
And in the land of rape and honey
You pray
Step by step
You climb the mountain
You pray
Fist to fist
Eye to eye
The rulers of the wasteland
And in the land of rape and honey
You pray
Step by step
You climb the mountain
You pray
Head to head
Chest to chest
Which country is the very best?
And in the land of rape and honey
You pray
Step by step
You climb the mountain
You pray

You Know What You Are
Don't try to reason
No words, no words
I've seen it all before
Don't cry because it is too late
We make some people think
That's all they need to get home
Now look into my eyes
I've seen the light
No words, no words
I've seen it all before
Don't cry because it is too late
We make some people think
That's all they need to get home
Now look into my eyes
I've seen the light
The star starts in the west
We have until we cry
Last time we offer
It's going to slaughter out
His covered eyes
Like in a really happy ending
Don't look into my eyes
You're gonna die
Please don't kill me now
In a house of guilty hate
We go around in circles
Retaliate
Ignore the pain
Ignore the terror
We saw the tears
Lost in their eyes

I Prefer
Have you run into the human race
Have you run into the world
Have you run into the system
And I raise the white flag
And I raise the white flag
And that's the way
I prefer...flagellation!
Have you run into the world
Have you run into the system
And I raise the white flag
And I raise the white flag
And that's the way
I prefer...flagellation!
Have you run into your head
Have you run into your balls
Have you run into the human condition
And I raise the white flag
And I raise the white flag
And that's the way
I prefer...flagellation!
I prefer flagellation!

Flashback
I'm gonna kill him
I'm gonna break his face
I'm gonna crack his skull
I'm gonna kick it all in
I'm gonna break his legs off
I'm gonna rip his head off
And then shit down his neck
And then I'll laugh like a motherf*cker
And then I'll laugh like a motherf*cker
'Cause I hate her!
And then I'll fall past
I'm gonna flashback
Flashback!
I'm gonna break his face
I'm gonna crack his skull
I'm gonna kick it all in
I'm gonna break his legs off
I'm gonna rip his head off
And then shit down his neck
And then I'll laugh like a motherf*cker
And then I'll laugh like a motherf*cker
'Cause I hate her!
And then I'll fall past
I'm gonna flashback
Flashback!
'Cause I hate her!
Pneumatic drill
Right through her chest
Bedroom punching
Right through the rest
I'm gonna make her suffer
I'm gonna make her suffer
And then watch her die
'Cause I hate her!
And then I'll fall past
I'm gonna flashback
Flashback!
'Cause I hate her!
I'm gonna rip her flesh
I'm gonna piss in her face
I'm gonna rip her open
And then hit her with mace
I'm gonna make her suffer
I'm gonna make her suffer
I'm gonna make her cry
I'm gonna watch her die
'Cause I hate her!
And then I'll fall past
I'm gonna flashback
Flashback
I hate her!
Flashback!
Laugh like a motherf*cker!

The Land of Rape and Honey is the third studio album by American industrial metal band Ministry, released on October 11, 1988, by Sire Records. This is the first Ministry album to include bassist Paul Barker and marks a departure from the band's previous two synthpop and EBM records. It incorporates heavy metal guitars and industrial music influences, and Al Jourgensen uses distorted vocals in his natural accent, rather than the faux British accent of previous albums. The resulting sound was influential in the industrial metal genre and is Jourgensen's favorite Ministry album. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in January 1996.
The album title comes from the slogan of Tisdale, Saskatchewan, whose motto at that time was "The Land of Rape and Honey", a reference to the agricultural products rapeseed and honey. The band chose the name after seeing the slogan on a souvenir mug.
