Land of Rape and Honey

Ministry

℗ 1988 Sire Records 7599 25799

Ministry • 1988 • Land of Rape and Honey

The Land of Rape and Honey is the third studio album by industrial metal band Ministry, released in 1988 through Sire Records. The image on the cover appears to be an electronically-processed version of a photo of a burned corpse in the Leipzig-Thekla sub-camp of Buchenwald. The album title comes from the slogan on a mug from Tisdale, Saskatchewan, whose motto is "The Land of Rape and Honey", the local economy being based on the agricultural products rapeseed and honey. The track "Stigmata" is featured in the science fiction thriller Hardware, released in 1990, which was written and directed by Richard Stanley. The Land of Rape and Honey was certified Gold by the RIAA in January 1996. The album went out of print for a few years in the early 2000s, but was recently re-issued by Wounded Bird Records. This re-issue is misprinted, labeling the title track "The Land of Milk and Honey."

Stigmata

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!

Deity

eyes open
empty as halos
he comes for me
deity

help- what's the matter?
looking for someone?
he comforts me
deity

resurrection
coming in stereo
if you say so
he comes for me

let's pray
to tv divinity
he covets me
deity

resurrection
coming in stereo
if you say so
deity

resurrection
coming in stereo
if you say so

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 prey

step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey

fist to fist
eye to eye
the rulers of the wasteland
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey

step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey

head to head
chest to chest
which country is the very best?
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey

step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey

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

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 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 rip her open
and then hit her with mace

i'm gonna watch her die
cos i hate her!
and then i'll fall past
i'm gonna flashback
