Future Shock
Evil Dead Lyrics

Fighting for what cause? To them it's unknown
The reason behind the fight is unknown for some

The sixties brought peace and love, with homage to Vietnam
There was a time of peace in the sixties even though Vietnam was still going on

The seventies was Watergate, three-mile island the tragic fate
The seventies were marked by political scandals and environmental disasters

The eighties we build our A.R.M.S., public scandals in Iran
In the eighties, we were focused on building our weapons while public scandals in Iran were causing problems

The nineties you can be assured, bombshelters for the weak and strong.
In the nineties, people were preparing for the worst by building bomb shelters

Another bombong, another hijack,
Bombings and hijackings were becoming more frequent

We'll never get our hostages back, brutal murders 'til the end
Hostages were being taken and brutal murders were happening without any resolution

Atomic safety, non-existent, Chernobyl's burning,
There was no atomic safety and Chernobyl was on fire

We won't miss it...radioactivity in their brains
There was radioactivity in people's brains and it wouldn't be missed

Dumping toxics in the sea, Governmental heigharchy,
Toxic waste was being dumped in the sea and government hierarchy was responsible

Killing creatures, extinct breed...
Extinct breeds of creatures were being killed off

No emotions we must face, rise of the synthetic race
There was no time to feel emotions, only acknowledgment of the rise of synthetic beings

Building empires - demonic power...
Empires were being built and took on a demonic power

The social class claims Democratic, slowly fading to phlegmatic
The social class claimed democracy but slowly became apathetic

Computers rule, now we panic...
Computers were becoming more dominant and people were starting to panic

Prepared for battle, been sold for slaughter,
People were being prepared for battle only to be sold off to slaughter

Say goodbye to Son and Daughter, The Future; a dying matter...
Families were saying goodbye to their children because the future seemed hopeless

Want to live?
People wanted to live

The choice not yours,
But the choice wasn't theirs

You've become prisoners of war, Apocalypse is now at hand...
They were now prisoners of war as the apocalypse was happening

Inflicting torture unjust to Man, merciless killings, Throughout the Land, the holocaust - alive again...
People were being unjustly tortured and killed, with a sense that the holocaust was happening again

A CALL TO ARMS
Calling for people to fight

WON'T HAPPEN HERE
But they believed it wouldn't happen here

WITH AFGANISTA
Referencing Afghanistan

AND Libya
And Libya

nuke'em all, make'em glow!
Calling for nuclear war

The whore of the beast, ten horns from the East,
Descriptions of a beast with ten horns

Hail from the skies, cracking the Earth,
Something destructive coming from the skies that cracks the Earth

The walls of the Cities, crumble to dust,
City walls crumble and turn to dust

The nations witness the final blast,
The world is watching the final blast

Prophets of rage, in the last age,
Prophets of rage in what seems to be the end of the world

Maybe we'll learn from Human remains...
Perhaps humanity will finally learn something from the remains of those left

The politicians' dug our grave, for mocking war our lives we gave,
The politicians dug their graves by mocking war and putting lives at risk

The time has passed to make some peace, the guilty minds now ruled by beasts'
It's too late to make peace, those in power have been corrupted

The World we know, does not exist, no sign of life, THE FUTURE SHOCK
The world as it exists now is doomed and there doesn't seem to be any hope

In Armageddon none survive, the Human race can't be revived.
In Armageddon, no one survives and the human race can't be brought back
