Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take shelter, skies are humming
Harmageddon, second coming
War of the worlds, the end of history
[Verse 2]
Take shelter, floods are rising
The wrath of thunderous drumming
End of days for mankind, and for your kin
[Verse 3]
Fill those empty moments, fear more
In this grave new world of '84
Fast death, last breath, A.I. to kill us all
[Verse 4]
Horse waste covering London
Martians among us, Y2K
Hoard, all aboard, the end is near
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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 (Keep us safe)
[Verse 6]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Chorus]
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands, unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the
[Chorus]
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
Due date
