Ministrydid more than any other band to popularize industrial-metal, injecting large doses of punky, over-the-top aggression and roaring heavy metal guitar riffs that helped their music find favor with metal and alternative audiences outside of industrial's cult fan base. That's not to say Ministry had a commercial or generally accessible sound: they were unremittingly intense, abrasive, pounding, and repetitive, and not always guitar-oriented (samples, synthesizers, and tape effects were a primary focus just as often as guitars and distorted vocals). However, both live and in the studio, they achieved a huge, crushing sound that put most of their contemporaries in aggressive musical genres to shame; plus, founder and frontman Al Jourgensengave the group a greater aura of style and theater than other industrial bands, who seemed rather faceless when compared with Jourgensen's leather-clad cowboy/biker look and the edgy shock tactics of such videos as .

Say You’re Sorry Lyrics

Ministry

Havent you ever felt this way before?
(with a perfect stranger? )
The look on her face, it just gives her away, she cant take any more
Hoist up your white flag, call for a truce
Try separation, we both stand to lose
She looks in your eyes as we say our goodbyes and she says
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say youre sorry (right from the heart)
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry
Think of the times when we couldnt wait to get home
(from the arms of danger)
Funniest part was the danger was right in our being home
You hoist up your white flag, you seem so amused
Living in riddles without giving clues
Looks in your eyes as you say your goodbytes and she says
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say youre sorry (right from the heart)
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry
Weve had our problems and weve had our fights
I was the wrong one and you were the right
No more fighting, it ends tonight
Its your turn to say youre sorry
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (say youre sorry)
