1. The End (Doors)

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

 

2. 1000 Cities Falling (The Sadies)

1000 Cities Falling Hatred turns a Godless Earth Where a person's life is worth How many people and possessions they control. Salvation for the souls forsaken were betrayed by those, who lead our nation in the War to end all Wars. From above the storms, put out the dawn's early light and both the darkness and the rainfall day and night.

 

3. 1999 (Prince)

Don't worry, I wont hurt u I only want u 2 have some fun I was dreamin when I wrote this Forgive me if it goes astray But when I woke up this mornin Coulda sworn it was judgment day The sky was all purple, There were people runnin everywhere Tryin 2 run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over, Oops out of time

 

4. After the Goldrush (Neil Young) (Original) (A Capella)

. I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie.

 

5. All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan) (Jimmy Hendrix)

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too. Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

 

6. Apocalypse Please (Muse)

declare this an emergency come on and spread a sense of urgency and pull us through and pull us through and this is the end this is the end of the world it's time we saw a miracle come on it's time for something biblical to pull us through and pull us through and this is the end this is the end of the world

 

7. The End of the World (As We Know It) (REM)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site.

 

8. Ever Since the World Ended (Mose Allison)

Ever since the world ended, I don't go out as much. People that I once befriended Just don't bother to stay in touch. Things that used to seem so splendid Don't really matter today. It's just as well the world ended--

 

9. Fear Not This Night (Jeremy Sole)

Darkness spreads through all the land and your weary eyes open silently. Sunsets have forsaken all and must open their eyes now Nightmares come when shadows grow....

 

10. Goodbye Blue Sky (Pink Floyd - The Wall)

Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs The flames are all long gone But the pain lingers on Goodbye blue sky Goodbye blue sky Goodbye Goodbye

 

11. Hammer to Fall (Queen)

Till one day they call your name! You know it's time for the hammer to fall! ! Rich or poor or famous! For your truth it's all the same! Lock your door the rain is pouring! Through your window pane! Baby now your struggle's all in vain!

 

12. House at Pooneil Corners (Jefferson Airplane)

That's the last hour to think anymore. Jelly and juice and bubbles, bubbles on the floor! Castles on cliffs vanish Cliffs like heaps of rubbish Seen from the stars hour by hour As splintered scraps and black powder! From here to heaven is a scar, Dead center, deep as death!

 

13. King of the World (Steely Dan - performed by Joe Jackson)

Hello one and all Was it you I used to know Can't you hear me call On this old ham radio All I got to say I'm alive and feeling fine If you come my way You can share my poison wine

 

14. End of the World (Skeeter Davis)

Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don't they know it's the end of the world, 'Cause you don't love me any more?

 

15. Temptation of Adam (Josh Ritter)

If this was the Cold War we could keep each other warm I said on the first occasion that I met Marie We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile silo door

 

16. Wooden Ships (Crosby/Stills/Nash & Jefferson Airplane)

If you smile at me, I will understand 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side There's just one thing I got to know Can you tell me please, who won?

 

. 17. Des Irae (Mozart) (Verdi) (Dvorak) (Gyorgi Ligeti) (Krzysztof Penderecki)

18. The Apocalypse Song (St. Vincent)

Wait I'll be swifter than the speed of light Carbon my body a billion years of time You wake with the stitches over both your eyes And deny me my body and all earthly delights It's time You are light I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of All your praying moments amount to just one breath

 

19. Quartet for the End of Time (Olivier Messaien) (Part I) (Part II)
20. Resident Evil First Floor Mansion

21. Breathing (Kate Bush)

Outside Gets inside Through her skin I've been out before But this time it's much safer in Last night In the sky Such a bright light My radar send me danger But my instincts tell me to keep Breathing

 

22. The Day the World Went Away (Trent Resnor/Nine Inch Nails)

I'd listen to the words he'd say But in his voice I heard decay The plastic face forced to portray All the insides left cold and gray There is a place that still remains It eats the fear it eats the pain The sweetest price he'll have to pay The day the whole world went away Na na nah

 

23. The Earth Died Screaming (Tom Waits)

Rudy's on the midway And Jacob's in the hole The monkey's on the ladder The devil shovels coal With crows as big as airplanes The lion has three heads And someone will eat the skin that he sheds...

 

24. Epitaph (King Crimson)

The wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams. Upon the instruments if death The sunlight brightly gleams. When every man is torn apart With nightmares and with dreams, Will no one lay the laurel wreath As silence drowns the screams.

 

25. Five Years (David Bowie)

News guy wept and told us earth was really dying Cried so much his face was wet then I knew he was not lying I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s My brain hurt like a warehouse it had no room to spare...

 

26. Goodbye to Radio (Hawksley Workman)

Goodbye to radio, goodbye to the things that we know. And calculate passages, and bloom like a tiger lily in july. And lovers will die, and lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen.

 

27. Here Comes the Flood (Peter Gabriel)

The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain Was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent In any still alive

 

28. When the Man Comes Around (Johnny Cash)

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw And behold a white horse There's a man going around taking names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the Man comes around

 

29. Nothing But FLowers (Talking Heads)

This used to be real estate Now it's only fields and trees Where, where is the town Now, it's nothing but flowers The highways and cars Were sacrificed for agriculture I thought that we'd start over But I guess I was wrong...

 

30. Stop the World (Clash)

The panorama of the city is wrong In fact the city seems to be gone! Burning rubber and smoke in my eyes There's a flat burning junkheap For twenty square miles!

 

31. Supper's Ready (Genesis)

...Dragons coming out of the sea, Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. He brings down the fire from the skies, You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. Better not compromise. It won't be easy. ..

 

32. Whose Garden Was This? (Tom Paxton)

Whose garden was this?
It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers?
I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one

 

33. You and the Candles (Hawksley Workman)

when societies crumble and everything's gone and the cars are all rusted away and there ain't no more money and there's nothing to buy and all that we have is the day when the world becomes silent no planes in the air when the voices just gather to sing

 

34. You Gotta Carry on (Tom Robinson)

Every single house has been looted Every single city's been burned Every can of food has been opened Every single stone has been turned Found this Parka on a deadman Jamie got a couple of knives Countryside crawling with maniacs You gotta survive

 

35. Sero-Sum (Nine Inch Nails)

They're starting to open up the sky They're starting to reach down through And it feels like we're living in that split-second Of a car crash And time is slowing down And if we only had a little more time And this time Is all there is

 

36. Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway (Billy Joel)

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway- I saw the ruins at my feet, You know we almost didn't notice it- We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street. They burned the churches up in Harlem- Like in that Spanish Civil War- The flames were everywhere, But no one really cared- It always burned up there before...

 

This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand In a...desperate land Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby Ride the snake, ride the snake To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold The west is the best The west is the best Get here, and we'll do the rest The blue bus is callin' us The blue bus is callin' us Driver, where you taken' us The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he Paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and And he came to a door...and he looked inside Father, yes son, I want to kill you Mother...I want to...WAAAAAA C'mon baby,--------- No "take a chance with us" C'mon baby, take a chance with us C'mon baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus Doin' a blue rock On a blue bus Doin' a blue rock C'mon, yeah Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end

1000 Cities Falling Hatred turns a Godless Earth Where a person's life is worth How many people and possessions they control. Salvation for the souls forsaken were betrayed by those, who lead our nation in the War to end all Wars. From above the storms, put out the dawn's early light and both the darkness and the rainfall day and night. The Angels killed the devils, hung them in the streets and revelled in the bloodless in the fires of revenge. We begged for mercy from the skies and pleeded for the sun to rise as we watched the fallen heavens turn to ice. We'll try and stay alive until we see that blessed day, when our sins are taken all away. On a dark and frozen land, by one thousand cities damned, that circle round and round a dying sun.

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights In armor coming, Saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and Drummers drumming And the archer split the tree. There was a fanfare blowing To the sun That was floating on the breeze. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Well, I dreamed I saw the silver Space ships flying In the yellow haze of the sun, There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones. All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun. They were flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home.

"There must be some way out of here" said the joker to the thief "There's too much confusion", I can't get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line know what any of it is worth. "No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late". All along the watchtower, princes kept the view While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too. Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

declare this an emergency come on and spread a sense of urgency and pull us through and pull us through and this is the end this is the end of the world it's time we saw a miracle come on it's time for something biblical to pull us through and pull us through and this is the end this is the end of the world proclaim eternal victory come on and change the course of history and pull us through and pull us through and this is the end this is the end of the world

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine... (It's time I had some time alone)

Ever since the world ended, I don't go out as much. People that I once befriended Just don't bother to stay in touch. Things that used to seem so splendid Don't really matter today. It's just as well the world ended-- It wasn't working anyway. Every since the world ended, There's no more bible belt. Remember how we all pretended? Going 'round, lying 'bout the way we felt. Every rule has been amended, There's no one keeping score. It's just as well the world ended We couldn't have taken much more. Ever since the world ended, There's no more black or white. Ever since we all got blended, there's no more reason to fuss and fight. Dogmas that we once defended no longer seem worthwhile. Ever since the world ended, I face the future-- With a smile.

[Refrain] Fear not this night. You will not go astray. Though shadows fall still the stars..find their way. Awaken from a quiet sleep. Hear the whispering of the wind. Awaken as the silence grows in the solitude of the night Darkness spreads through all the land and your weary eyes open silently. Sunsets have forsaken all and must open their eyes now Nightmares come when shadows grow.... Ice glows and heartbeats slow [Refrain] Fear not this night. You will not go astray. Though Shadows fall still the stars find their way And you can always be strong. Lift your voice with the first light of dawn Dawn is just a heartbeat away. Hope is just a sunrise away Distant song of melody scoring through the night to your heart. Auroras make circumstance in the solitude of our life. Pleading silent arias gently grieving in captive misery. Darkness sings a violent song yet our hope can still rise up Nightmares come where shadows grow. Lift your voice lift your heart [Refrain] Fear not this night. You will not go astray. Though shadows fall still the stars find a way And though the night skies fill with weakness. Fear not, press on. Hold out and take my hand! Fear not this night! You will not go astray. Though shadows fall still the stars find a way! Fear not this night! You will not go astray. Though shadows fall still the stars find a way! And you can always be strong. Lift your voice with the first light of dawn! Dawn is just a heartbeat away.... Home is just a sunrise away....

[Childs voice:] Look, Mummy. There's an airplane up in the sky. Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs Did you ever wonder Why we had to run for shelter When the promise of a brave new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky Oooooooo ooo ooooo oooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs The flames are all long gone But the pain lingers on Goodbye blue sky Goodbye blue sky Goodbye Goodbye

Here we stand or here we fall! History won't care at all! Make the bed light the light! Lady Mercy won't be home tonight! ! We don't waste no time at all! Don't hear the bell but you answer the call! It comes to you as to us all! We're just waiting for the hammer to fall! ! Oh, ev'ry night and every day! A little piece of me is falling away! But lift your face the Western Way! Build your muscles as your body decays! ! Tow your line and play their game! Let the anesthetic cover it all! Till one day they call your name! You know it's time for the hammer to fall! ! Rich or poor or famous! For your truth it's all the same! Lock your door the rain is pouring! Through your window pane! Baby now your struggle's all in vain! ! For we grew up tall and proud! In the shadow of the mushroom cloud! Convinced our voices can't be heard! We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder! ! What the hell we fighting for ?! Just surrender and it won't hurt at all! You just got time to say your prayers! While you're waiting for the hammer!

You and me, we keep walking around And we see all the bullshit around us. You try to keep your mind on what's going down. Can't help but see the rhinoceros around us. Then you wonder what you can be And you do what you can to get bald and high! And you know I'm still gonna need you around! And you know I'm still gonna need you around! You say it's healing, but nobody's feeling it; Somebody's dealing, somebody's stealing it! You say you don't see and you don't. You say you won't know and you won't. Let it come! Everything someday will be gone except silence And Earth will be quiet again! Seas from clouds will wash off the ashes of violence Left as the memory of men; There will be no survivor, my friend! Suddenly everyone will look surprised, Stars, spinning wheels in the skies, Sun is scrambled in their eyes While the moon circles like a vulture! Some stood at the window and cried one tear; I thought that would stop the war! But someone is... Killing me! That's the last hour to think anymore. Jelly and juice and bubbles, bubbles on the floor! Castles on cliffs vanish Cliffs like heaps of rubbish Seen from the stars hour by hour As splintered scraps and black powder! From here to heaven is a scar, Dead center, deep as death! All the idiots have left! The idiots have left! Cows are almost cooing, Turtledoves are mooing, Which is why a pooh is poohing In the sun.

Hello one and all Was it you I used to know Can't you hear me call On this old ham radio All I got to say I'm alive and feeling fine If you come my way You can share my poison wine Chorus: No marigolds in the promised land There's a hole in the ground Where they used to grow Any man left on the rio grande Is the king of the world As far as I know I don't want your bread I don't need your helping hand I can't be no savage I can't be no highwayman Show me where you are You and I will spend this day Driving in my car Through the ruins of santa fe Chorus I'm reading last year's papers Although I don't know why Assassins cons and rapers Might as well die If you come around No more pain and no regrets Watch the sun go brown Smoking cobalt cigarettes There's no need to hide Taking things the easy way If I stay inside I might live til saturday Chorus

Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don't they know it's the end of the world, 'Cause you don't love me any more? Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don't they know it's the end of the world. It ended when I lost your love. I wake up in the morning and I wonder, Why everything's the same as it was. I can't understand. No, I can't understand, How life goes on the way it does. Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know it's the end of the world. It ended when you said goodbye. Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know it's the end of the world. It ended when you said goodbye.

If this was the Cold War we could keep each other warm I said on the first occasion that I met Marie We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile silo door And I don't think that she really thought that much of me I never had to learn to love her like I learned to love the Bomb She just came along and started to ignore me But as we waited for the Big One I started singing her my songs And I think she started feeling something for me We passed the time with crosswords that she thought to bring inside What five letters spell "apocalypse" she asked me I won her over saying "W.W.I.I.I." She smiled and we both knew that she'd misjudged me Oh Marie it was so easy to fall in love with you It felt almost like a home of sorts or something And you would keep the warhead missile silo good as new And I'd watch you with my thumb above the button Then one night you found me in my army issue cot And you told me of your flash of inspiration You said fusion was the broken heart that's lonely's only thought And all night long you drove me wild with your equations Oh Marie do you remember all the time we used to take We'd make our love and then ransack the rations I think about you leaving now and the avalanche cascades And my eyes get washed away in chain reactions Oh Marie if you would stay then we could stick pins in the map Of all the places where you thought that love would be found But I would only need one pin to show where my heart's at In a top secret location three hundred feet under the ground We could hold each other close and stay up every night Looking up into the dark like it's the night sky And pretend this giant missile is an old oak tree instead And carve our name in hearts into the warhead Oh Marie there's something tells me things just won't work out above That our love would live a half-life on the surface So at night while you are sleeping I hold you closer just because As our time grows short I get a little nervous I think about the Big One, W.W.I.I.I. Would we ever really care the world had ended You could hold me here forever like you're holding me tonight I look at that great big red button and I'm tempted

If you smile at me, I will understand 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side There's just one thing I got to know Can you tell me please, who won? Say, can I have some of your purple berries? Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven't got sick once Probably keep us both alive Wooden ships on the water, very free (and easy) Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be Silver (people) on the shoreline, let us be Talkin' 'bout very free and easy Horror grips us as we watch you die all we can do is echo your anguished cries Stare as all human feelings die We are leaving, you don't need us Go, take your sister then, by the hand lead her away from this foreign land Far away, where we might laugh again We are leaving, you don't need us And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder Guess I'll set a course and go

Wait I'll be swifter than the speed of light Carbon my body a billion years of time You wake with the stitches over both your eyes And deny me my body and all earthly delights It's time You are light I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of All your praying moments amount to just one breath Please keep your victory But give me little death It's time You are light I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of So take to the streets with apocalypse refrain Your devotion has the look of a lunatic's gaze

Outside Gets inside Through her skin I've been out before But this time it's much safer in Last night In the sky Such a bright light My radar send me danger But my instincts tell me to keep Breathing (Out, in, out, in, out, in...) Breathing Breathing my mother in Breathing my beloved in Breathing Breathing her nicotine Breathing Breathing the fall-out in Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in We've lost our chance We're the first and the last After the blast Chips of plutonium Are twinkling in every lung I love my Beloved All and everywhere Only the fools blew it You and me Knew life itself is Breathing, (Out, in, out, in, out...) Breathing Breathing my mother in Breathing my beloved in Breathing Breathing her nicotine Breathing Breathing the fall-out in Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in Out, in, out, in, out, in, out (Out, out, out, out)

"In point of fact it is possible to tell the difference between a small nuclear explosion and a large one by a very simple method. The calling card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that is far more dazzling than any light on earth, Brighter even than the sun itself and it is by the duration of this flash that we are able to determine the size of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust and living things around the area of the explosion, And as this ascends, it soon becomes recognizable as the familiar "mushroom cloud". As a demonstration of the flash duration test let's try and count the number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very small bomb; Then a more substantial, medium-sized bomb; And finally, one of our very powerful, 'high-yield' bombs"

(What are we going to do without) Please (What are we going to do without) Let me breathe (What are we going to do without) Quick, breathe in deep (We are all going to die without) Leave me something to breathe (What are we going to do without) Leave me something to breathe (We are all going to die without) God, please leave us something to breathe (What are we going to do without) Oh, life is (Breathing)

I'd listen to the words he'd say But in his voice i heard decay The plastic face forced to portray All the insides left cold and gray There is a place that still remains It eats the fear it eats the pain The sweetest price he'll have to pay The day the whole world went away Na na nah Na na na, nah Na na nah Na na na , nah

Rudy's on the midway And Jacob's in the hole THe monkey's on the ladder The devil shovels coal With crows as big as airplanes The lion has three heads And someone will eat the skind that he sheds ANd the earth died screaming The earth died screaming While I lay dreaming of you Well hell doesn't want you And heaven is full Bring me some water Put it in this skull I walk between the raindrops Wait in Bug House Square And the army ants They leave nothin' but the bones And the earth died screaming While I lay dreaming of you There was thunder There was lightning Then the stars went out And the moon fell from the sky It rained mackerel It rained trout And the great day of wrath has come And here's mud in your big red eye The poker's in the fire And the locusts take the sky And the earth died screaming While I lay dreaming of you

The wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams. Upon the instruments if death The sunlight brightly gleams. When every man is torn apart With nightmares and with dreams, Will no one lay the laurel wreath As silence drowns the screams. Between the iron gates of fate, The seeds of time were sown, And watered by the deeds of those Who know and who are known; Knowledge is a deadly friend When no one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools. Confusion will be my epitaph. As I crawl a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back and laugh. But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying, Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Pushing thru the market square so many mothers sighing News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in News guy wept and told us earth was really dying Cried so much his face was wet then I knew he was not lying I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s My brain hurt like a warehouse it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people A girl my age went off her head hit some tiny children If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheel of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest and a queer threw up at the sight of that I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot We've got five years, that's all we've got

Goodbye to radio, goodbye to the things that we know. And calculate passages, and bloom like a tiger lily in july. And lovers will die, and lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen. So stop tellin lies, and start falling blind in the deepest of seas. Salvaged by wondering, weighed down by tears that you wish you could cry. I want to make love with you, spread you so wide like the bluest of nights. And lovers will die, and lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen. stop tellin lies, and start falling blind in the deepest of seas. (whistles) (instrumental) And lovers will die, and lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen. So stop tellin lies, and start falling blind into the darkest of seas. And lovers will die, and lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen. So stop tellin lies, and start falling blind in the deepest of seas.

When the night shows The signals grow on radios All the strange things They come and go, as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide There's no point in direction we cannot Even choose a side. I took the old track The hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs They were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain Was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent In any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. When the flood calls You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash You're a thousand minds, within a flash Don't be afraid to cry at what you see The actors gone, there's only you and me And if we break before the dawn, they'll Use up what we used to be.

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw And behold a white horse There's a man going around taking names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the Man comes around The hairs on your arm will stand up At the terror in each sip and in each sup Will you partake of that last offered cup? Or disappear into the potter's ground When the Man comes around Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom Then the father hen will call his chickens home The wise man will bow down before the throne And at His feet they'll cast their golden crowns When the Man comes around Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still Listen to the words long written down When the Man comes around Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling and voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks In measured hundred weight and penney pound When the Man comes around. Close (Spoken part) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts And I looked and behold, a pale horse And his name that sat on him was Death And Hell followed with him.

Here we stand Like an Adam and an Eve Waterfalls The Garden of Eden Two fools in love So beautiful and strong The birds in the trees Are smiling upon them From the age of the dinosaurs Cars have run on gasoline Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers There was a factory Now there are mountains and rivers You got it, you got it We caught a rattlesnake Now we got something for dinner We got it, we got it There was a shopping mall Now it's all covered with flowers You've got it, you've got it If this is paradise I wish I had a lawnmower You've got it, you've got it Years ago I was an angry young man I'd pretend That I was a billboard Standing tall By the side of the road I fell in love With a beautiful highway This used to be real estate Now it's only fields and trees Where, where is the town Now, it's nothing but flowers The highways and cars Were sacrificed for agriculture I thought that we'd start over But I guess I was wrong Once there were parking lots Now it's a peaceful oasis You got it, you got it This was a Pizza Hut Now it's all covered with daisies You got it, you got it I miss the honky tonks, Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens You got it, you got it And as things fell apart Nobody paid much attention You got it, you got it I dream of cherry pies, Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies You got it, you got it We used to microwave Now we just eat nuts and berries You got it, you got it This was a discount store, Now it's turned into a cornfield You got it, you got it Don't leave me stranded here I can't get used to this lifestyle

The panorama of the city is wrong In fact the city seems to be gone! Burning rubber and smoke in my eyes There's a flat burning junkheap For twenty square miles! They took it into the nuclear mine Judging by this, they left nothing behind Down in the bunkers in the crust of the earth Now crouch the wealthy and the noble of birth If I could a ride a train around the city That holds this as our fate I'd hide from electro-circuit central To the shock inducer gate Not forgetting the by-pass Across the Washington hooks Through the phones and desks and screens Of the Kremlin's crook of crooks There's some panel in a circuit board Destination of the override Scanning the wild wind Blowing through the Berlin corridor Spotlit in a palace, shielded from dust Malfunction or not, the fail safe is the crux So far away from us, Shaking with the mystery tears One lonely night in Ladbroke Grove Far away in the deserts of Omaha! They got it nailed down-Swiss tight! The bank notes of Europe The emperors and kings Curl in the autumn as the burning of leaves And I've cleaned my black guitar...

Supper’s Ready (Genesis) Lovers' Leap Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right. ...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby don't you know our love is true. Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies. Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright, Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly. The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand. ...And it's hello babe your supper's waiting for you. Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true. I've been so far from here, Far from your warm arms. It's good to feel you again, It's been a long long time. Hasn't it? The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man I know a farmer who looks after the farm. With water clear, he cares for all his harvest. I know a fireman who looks after the fire. Can't you see he's fooled you all. Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. Share his peace, Sign the lease. He's a supersonic scientist, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. Look, look into my mouth he cries, And all the children lost down many paths, I bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in hand, gland in gland With a spoonful of miracle, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary. We will rock you, rock you little snake, We will keep you snugg and warm. Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest, We walked across the fields to see the children of the West, But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the ground, Waiting for battle. The fight's begun, they've been released. Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang... And they're giving me a wonderful potion, 'Cos I cannot contain my emotion. And even though I'm feeling good, Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule. Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate. The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord. How Dare I Be So Beautiful? Wandering in the chaos the battle has left, We climb up the mountain of human flesh, To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life. A young figure sits still by a pool, He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool. (He is you) Social Security took care of this lad. We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. A flower? Willow Farm If you go down to Willow Farm, to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies, like the fox on the rocks, and the musical box. Yes, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad, and everyone's happy to be here. There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag. The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird. (Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) Hadn't you heard? (They're going to change you into a human being!) Yahoo, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese, and wonderfully clean in the morning. We've got everything, we're growing everything, We've got some in We've got some out We've got some wild things floating about Everyone, we're changing everyone, you name them all, We've had them here, And the real stars are still to appear. ALL CHANGE! Feel your body melt; Mum to mud to mad to dad Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office, You're all full of ball. Dad to dam to dum to mum Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing, You're all full of ball. Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa Momma I want you now. And as you listen to my voice To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause. You've been here all the time, Like it or not, like what you got, You're under the soil (the soil, the soil), Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!). So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang and all of us fit in our places. Apocalypse In 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet) With the guards of Magog, swarming around, The Pied Piper takes his children underground. Dragons coming out of the sea, Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. He brings down the fire from the skies, You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. Better not compromise. It won't be easy. 666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a HIP brand new tune. And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue, Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true, I've been so far from here, Far from your loving arms, Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine. As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet) Can't you feel our souls ignite Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night, Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows We have finally been freed to get back home. There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice, "This is the supper of the mighty One", The Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Has returned to lead His children home, To take them to the new Jerusalem.

Whose garden was this It must have been lovely Did it have flowers Ive seen pictures of flowers And Id love to have smelled one Whose river was this You say it ran freely Blue was its colour And Ive seen blue in some pictures And Id love to have been there Tell me again, I need to know The forest had trees, the meadows were green The oceans were blue And birds really flew Can you swear that its true Whose grey sky was this Or was it a blue one You say they were breezes Ive heard records of breezes And Id love to have felt one Tell me again, I need to know The forest had trees, the meadows were green The oceans were blue And birds really flew Can you swear that its true Whose garden was this It must have been lovely Did it have flowers Ive seen pictures of flowers And Id love to have smelled one Tell me again, I need to know Tell me again, I need to know Tell me again, I need to know

when societies crumble and everything's gone and the cars are all rusted away and there ain't no more money and there's nothing to buy and all that we have is the day when the world becomes silent no planes in the air when the voices just gather to sing when the guns are the fence post the cars are the doghouse and the telephones no longer ring what, what of the night with no electrical light so what then? you, you and the candles will be all that i need your face bathed in the firelight will be all i want to see and i'll still sing you a song that will last the whole night long you, you and the candles when the grocery stores are hollow inside and the airports are filled with a breeze after the anarchy finally subsides when you reckon with how it will be when empires are humbled before the eyes of the people and the truth will be like a parade when industry's fallen we'll make our own clothes now and gifts of our hands rise again and what, what of the night with no electrical light so what then? you, you and the candles will be all that i need your face bathed in the firelight will be all i want to see and i'll still sing you a song that will last the whole night long you, you and the candles in a waste paper basket the timing's fantastic for lovers to mean what they say and a night lit in candles on stained wooden mantles keep us safe 'til the night turns to day you, you and the storm clouds and the puddles at our feet the lightning cuts through the heavens and light you so briefly and i'll still write you a song to last the whole night long you, you and the candles you, you and the candles

Three boys working on a slave gang Chained in the cottage at night Killed the overseer, broke down the door Now they gonna shoot us on sight Night time sticking to the 'B' roads Hiding from the men with the guns Hitting the ditches Everytime somebody comes Every single house has been looted Every single city's been burned Every can of food has been opened Every single stone has been turned Found this Parka on a deadman Jamie got a couple of knives Countryside crawling with maniacs You gotta survive Carrion crows on the motorway Old woman dying of the plague She cried 'put me out of my misery' Charlie had to give her his blade Streets full of slavers on the rampage Wild boys running by the score Weeks without eating Can't carry on anymore

They're starting to open up the sky They're starting to reach down through And it feels like we're living in that split-second Of a car crash And time is slowing down And if we only had a little more time And this time Is all there is Do you remember the time we And all the times we And should have And were going to I know And I know you remember How we could justify it all And we knew better In our hearts we knew better And we told ourselves it didn't matter And we chose to continue And none of that matters anymore In the hour of our twilight And soon it will be all said and done And we will all be back together as one If we will continue at all Shame on us Doomed from the start May God have mercy On our dirty little hearts Shame on us For all we've done And all we ever were Just zeros and ones And you never get away And you never get to take the easy way And all of this is a consequence Brought on by our own hand If you believe in that sort of thing And did you ever really find When you close your eyes Any place that was still And at peace And I guess I just wanted to tell you As the light starts to fade That you are the reason That I am not afraid And I guess I just wanted to mention As the heavens will fall We will be together soon if we Will be anything at all Shame on us Doomed from the start May God have mercy On our dirty little hearts Shame on us For all we've done And all we ever were Just zeros and ones

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway- I saw the Empire State laid low. And life went on beyond the Palisades, They all bought Cadillacs- And left there long ago. We held a concert out in Brooklyn- To watch the Island bridges blow. They turned our power down, And drove us underground- But we went right on with the show... I've seen the lights go out on Broadway- I saw the ruins at my feet, You know we almost didn't notice it- We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street. They burned the churches up in Harlem- Like in that Spanish Civil War- The flames were everywhere, But no one really cared- It always burned up there before... I've seen the lights go out on Broadway- I watched the mighty skyline fall. The boats were waiting at the Battery, The union went on strike- They never sailed at all. They sent a carrier out from Norfolk- And picked the Yankees up for free. They said that Queens could stay, They blew the Bronx away- And sank Manhattan out at sea.... You know those lights were bright on Broadway- But that was so many years ago... Before we all lived here in Florida- Before the Mafia took over Mexico. There are not many who remember- They say a handful still survive... To tell the world about... The way the lights went out, And keep the memory alive....
