Skyclad

Skyclad are a British heavy metal band with heavy folk influences in their music. They are considered one of the pioneers of folk metal. The etymology behind the term "skyclad" comes from a pagan/wiccan term for ritual nudity, in which rituals are performed with the participants metaphorically clad only by the sky, as a sign of equality. The name alludes both to the bands' religious leanings and to their social beliefs, as set out in the song "Skyclad" on their first album. more »

Look what you get for following leaders,
Who lead from the rear - where are they now?
What did we learn in history lessons?
How to sit quiet at the back of a class.
With so many things open to question,
It's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
Life's an education - a multiple equation,
Everybody finds their own solution in the end.
"To be or not to be" is a very lengthy question,
Has somebody please got a sharpened pencil they can lend?
What did we learn in history lessons?
How to sit quiet at the back of a class.
With so many things open to question,
It's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
Marching in time down a production line,
What did they teach you about life in a dole-queue?
The Law of Relativity - (life's relative misery)
The Law of Probability - (it's probably contrived)
Newton's Law of Gravity - (we face a grave reality)
The law that runs the jungle - (only the strong survive).
Look what you get for following leaders,
Who lead form the rear - where are they now?
The path of least resistance - a bland text book existence,
Don't expect to find the answers printed at the back.
The only sound advice that's carried me through life -
When the cards are stacked against you - play the joker in the pack.
What did we learn in history lessons?
How to sit quiet at the back of a class.
With so many things open to question,
It's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
Marching in time down a production line,
What did they teach you about life in a dole-queue?
