Verse:
Am
Take shelter, skies are humming
Am
Armageddon, second coming
F                             Am
War of the worlds, the end of history
Am
Take shelter, floods are rising
Am
The wrath of thunderous drumming
F                            Am
End of days for mankind, and for your kin
Am
Fill those empty moments, fear more
Am                          G
In this grave new world of ʼ84
F                       Am
Fast death, last breath, A.I. to kill us all
Am
Horse waste covering London

Martians among us, Y2K

Hoard, all aboard, the end is near

We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
    Bb       F         Dm
The innocent islands unscarred
    Bb     Gm     Dm
The moment of our nadir
   Bb                F   Am
So many times passed thе due date
Am
Too late, gathеr up
Am
Itʼs the day of

Verse:
Am
Purgatory, same old story
Am
Cower before a caliphate glory
    F                      Am
The big read of today will gallow you
Am
Keep you small
Am
Hereʼs a million ropes for the hangman
G
Nightmare cavalcade for the sandman
F
Mind virus, fear of the well-known
Am
Keep us safe (Keep us safe)
Am
We are too many for our Mother
Am
Crops will burn so why bother
  F                          Am
A new strain sent you back into your cave
Am
Obey, stay away, cover up
Am
Fear the words, feeding humanity
G                                     F
Hide the unshot guns and the crippled dancing

        G
All the pain and suffering to feel for
     C
Itʼs there, but yours is an empty sermon

Verse:
Am
Made up the sun rising
Am
Made sense of equus flying
F                     Am
Time for another fear made real
Am
A need to feel dread, gloom, awe
Am                      G    F
A lust for never-ending doom porn
F                       Am
A man-shaped evil walks among us
Am
Obey, stay away, cover up
         Em
Fear the words, the feed, feed the human beast
G                                F
Hide the unshot guns, the end is fear

Chorus:
