Dark Future

desensitised by television

and a thousand movie screens

lulled into a false security

we’ll never hear the screams

from the old wars to the cold wars

we’ve always lived a lie

and damned is the man whoever asks

or stops to question why

billion dollar egos

made a god as never before

self proclaimed for few to see

it lives and breathes for war

desensitised by half truths

our mind foggy from the lies

where then does the blame lie

when everybody dies

your life is happy

your life is full

it’s a bright sunny day

the kids are at school

sirens start and fill the air,

you run out to the porch

only to be incinerated

a dying human torch

everything is ablaze

as you meet your burning grave

then you’re blasted to oblivion

by the final pressure wave

everywhere destruction

by mans most evil forces

try and write an epitaph

for sixteen million corpses

but the future is ours

it’s ours to make

from the corrupt hands of power

it’s ours to take

from the ashes of the past

there’s a lesson to learn

we have to change

or else we’ll all burn

we knew what would happen

we knew what the future held

it was always in our nature

to create the end of the world

the end of the world
