Engines
Engines of Armageddon: A Melodic Warning
Lyrics
We're headed for the end of times
We are approaching a critical period in history.
There's no rewind
There is no way to reverse or undo the current situation.
It's time to run and hide
It's time to seek shelter and avoid the impending crisis.
Ignoring warning signs
Choosing to ignore signs and warnings.
We've crossed a line
We have surpassed a limit or boundary.
A fuel injected genocide
A destructive event caused by the use of powerful technologies.
Lost our bearings
We are disoriented or confused.
In red herrings
Distracted by misleading clues or information.
Everybody's gone and picked a side
People have chosen sides in a divisive situation.
There's not much less to do
There's not much left to do.
But grab some brews
Suggesting a casual or resigned attitude, possibly using humor as a coping mechanism.
And watch the rising tide
Observing the inevitable rise of a destructive force.
At the dawn of Armageddon
A reference to a catastrophic event, emphasizing its magnitude.
We're still filling up our engines
Despite impending doom, people continue their activities, possibly oblivious or indifferent.
The West is suffocating
Describing a critical situation in the Western world.
Fires raging
Intense fires are spreading uncontrollably.
Kindling waiting for a light
Material ready to ignite, waiting for a spark.
The smoke it rises
Visualizing the ascent of smoke from the fires.
The horizon glowing orange
The sky is colored with a fiery glow.
Like a funeral pyre
Comparing the horizon to a funeral pyre, signifying death and destruction.
And all these trees
Emphasizing the destruction of nature that contributes to human survival.
That help us breathe
The essential elements for human life are reduced to ashes.
Are all just ashes covering the blight
The devastation hides the underlying problems.
Don't be dismayed
Encouragement not to be disheartened, as everything will be washed away.
It all will wash away
Assurance that the destructive consequences will be temporary.
Beneath the rising tide
Underneath the rising tide, symbolizing a cleansing or renewal.
At the dawn of Armageddon
Reiteration of people continuing daily activities despite impending doom.
We're still filling up our engines
Emphasizing the persistence of harmful actions despite the looming crisis.
The ocean's coming for us
The ocean, a powerful force, is approaching with consequences.
Tried to warn us
Attempts to warn have been ignored or overlooked.
But we all turned a blind eye
Collective ignorance and denial despite forewarnings.
All so spoiled, burning oil
Reflecting on a wasteful and unsustainable lifestyle.
Now the bill comes due
The consequences of reckless actions are now becoming evident.
We pay the price
A price must be paid for the irresponsible behavior.
Crops are dying
Nature is suffering, with implications for agriculture.
Storm winds flying
Intense and destructive weather events are occurring.
Soon we're drowning in the melting ice
A grim picture of a future where ice is melting, leading to widespread flooding.
Our only hope's to build a boat
The only solution is to adapt and find a way to survive.
And float
Survival involves staying afloat above the impending crisis.
Above the rising tide
Reiteration of the need to confront the crisis at its onset.
At the dawn of Armageddon
Despite the imminent catastrophe, destructive behaviors persist.
We're still filling up our engines
Underlining the irony of continuing harmful actions in the face of impending doom.
At the dawn of Armageddon
Repetition of the earlier statement about filling up engines despite the crisis.
We're still filling up our engines
Highlighting the persistence of unsustainable practices even in the face of impending disaster.
