Apocalypse
By Jens Michael Schliep
Spoken Word Intro
This morning, troops crossed our national line—the Third World War begins.
My honored viewers, this is no fake:
The Third World War has started—may God have mercy on us all.
Verse 1
The TV shows us all the horror,
Mighty blasts proclaim the end is near.
People flood the streets in panic and terror,
Chaos reigns, and danger’s here.
Verse 2
The army stands in our way—no path back home.
A mother weeps as her child screams alone.
Sirens roar—so we dive below the ground;
The stench of sweat, the city falls to shrapnel sound.
Naked fear:
we are afraid.
Chorus
They warned us once—now it’s come to pass,
The red button’s pressed, the missiles flash.
There’s no turning back,
no turning back.
Hook
It’s here, it shows no mercy—
the apocalypse is here, the apocalypse is now.
It’s here, it shows no mercy—
the apocalypse is here, the apocalypse is now.
Scream
The apocalypse is here!
Bridge
Years of silence, then they waged their war—
It started small, born of pride and greed.
Millions dead, billions hidden on their shores,
They built their bunkers while the people bleed.
We failed—and now we pay the price.
Chorus
They warned us once—now it’s come to pass,
The red button’s pressed, the missiles flash.
There’s no turning back,
no turning back.
Hook
It’s here, it shows no mercy—
the apocalypse is here, the apocalypse is now.
It’s here, it shows no mercy—
the apocalypse is here, the apocalypse is now.
The apocalypse is here.
Outro
Years later, all is still—the earth has borne the mad,
Life crawls back slow, the last men hide in caves.
They whisper tales of how things once had been,
Some still fight over crumbs, one kills the other for bread.
Scream
They just don’t get it.
just don’t get it.
Ahhhh-They just don't get it.
It begins............
