Dark Continent (album)
Dark Continent is the first full length album by Los Angeles new wave band Wall of Voodoo, released in 1981 on IRS Records. It reached #177 on the US album charts. The original compact disc version was released by A&M in 1992. Australian label Raven Records issued a digitally remastered CD of Dark Continent coupled with Call of the West in 2009.
A music video was produced for the song "Call Box (1-2-3)" and the band performed "Back in Flesh" in the 1981 concert film Urgh! A Music War. Early live versions of four songs ("Red Light", "Animal Day", "Back in Flesh" and "Call Box (1-2-3)") are featured on the Index Masters compilation.
Reception
In a retrospective review, Allmusic declared Dark Continent to be Wall of Voodoo's greatest album, claiming the absence of any weak songs and the album's intensely original voice and style as justification.

Dark Continent
by: Mind AssaultWe are the voices
We are the voice of man
We are the truth behind every plan
Breeding all the children and the night of darkness
falls
Strong and weak betrayed, what this hell has brought
for all
Stand up and fight them
Stand up and crush them all
Stand up and crush them into the ground
Program all the people and like machines we obey
Fight against the odds, but there's no hope for us
anymore
Pray for better days
Never ending suffering
Pray for sanity
Break down the darkness
Pray for me, pray for you
Pray for better days
Never ending suffering
Pray for sanity
Break down the darkness
No more the pain
No more the suffering
No more will we stand down and look away
Protect yourself and take away our freedom of choice
Leading fragile minds on the dark path you choose for
