4. The Day Of... (4:34)
Take shelter, skies are humming
Harmageddon, 2nd coming
War of the worlds, the end of history
Take shelter, floods are rising
The Wrath of thunderous drumming
End of days
For mankind, and for your kin
Fill those empty moments, fear more
In this grave new world of `84
Fast death, last breath,
A.I. to kill us all
Horse waste covering London
Martians among us, Y2K
Hoard, all aboard, the end is near
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the due date
Too late, gather up
It`s the day of
Purgatory, same old story
Cower before a caliphate glory
The Big Read of today will gallow you,
Keep you small
Here's a million ropes for the hangman
Nightmare cavalcade for the sandman
Mind virus, fear of the well-known
Keep us safe
We are too many for our Mother
Crops will burn so why bother
A new strain sent you back into your cave
Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, feeding humanity
Hide the unshot guns
And the crippled dancing
It`s a long road to a dreamworld
All the pain and suffering to feel for
It`s there, but yours is an empty sermon
Made up the sun rising
Made sense of equus flying
Time for another fear made real
A need to feel dread, gloom, awe
A lust for never-ending doom porn
A man-shaped evil walks among us
Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, the feed, feed the human beast
Hide the unshot guns
The end is fear
Harmageddon, 2nd coming
War of the worlds, the end of history
Take shelter, floods are rising
The Wrath of thunderous drumming
End of days
For mankind, and for your kin
Fill those empty moments, fear more
In this grave new world of `84
Fast death, last breath,
A.I. to kill us all
Horse waste covering London
Martians among us, Y2K
Hoard, all aboard, the end is near
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the due date
Too late, gather up
It`s the day of
Purgatory, same old story
Cower before a caliphate glory
The Big Read of today will gallow you,
Keep you small
Here's a million ropes for the hangman
Nightmare cavalcade for the sandman
Mind virus, fear of the well-known
Keep us safe
We are too many for our Mother
Crops will burn so why bother
A new strain sent you back into your cave
Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, feeding humanity
Hide the unshot guns
And the crippled dancing
It`s a long road to a dreamworld
All the pain and suffering to feel for
It`s there, but yours is an empty sermon
Made up the sun rising
Made sense of equus flying
Time for another fear made real
A need to feel dread, gloom, awe
A lust for never-ending doom porn
A man-shaped evil walks among us
Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, the feed, feed the human beast
Hide the unshot guns
The end is fear
