The Apocalypse

from I Was Dreaming by Chet Nichols

/

about

I spent some time recently in Detroit. This song was inspired by that trip. It is a travesty what has happened to that once beautiful city that was so vibrant, welcoming and inspiring.

The title says it all.

We are spiraling out of control....and heading toward....?

With all the events of the world spinning faster and faster out of control....this song paints a potential picture of the future.

1. Bombed out buildings and bombed out souls
The last crescendo of our lose of control
The highways are empty but they're filled with danger
We tried to fool the 7 deadly sins
Then came the mushroom cloud and its penetrating poison
We were unbendable
And way too proud
Until we heard a voice
That cut right through the clouds, saying ....

CHORUS
Welcome to the abyss
Say goodbye to all the bliss
Here's a little kiss on the lips
From the Apocalypse

2. The silos are empty and they're covered in dust
The deafening residue of our blessings gone bust
We flushed our futures when we shunned our faith
Endless chatter reaching up to the sky
Be God's not taking any calls because the grid is fried
A mist of tears
Oh, it hovers all around
Dampening the silence
Till the lightening strikes the ground, saying........

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Where are all the dreams?
Where are all the second chances?
Bring back all the machines
And turn on all the pretty dancers, pretty dancers

CHORUS
