Project Terminated by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.
PROJECT TERMINATED
Crimson schizoid hollow man
Twenty first century airport scan
Marked flood upon the shore
Apocalyptic foreign war
Greed has come and the money’s gone
Now we pay for others' wrongs
Atlas says he’s getting tired
The trouble is he can’t be fired
More and more the souls pile on
Already things begin to go wrong
The prophecies of theosophy
Says voices shout “You’re killing me”
Let me tell you of all my fears
You got to listen so you can hear
I worry when I seem to know
More than that they say is so
Truth is thought no longer right
“Certainly” becomes “maybe”, “might”
Nostradamus said so much
Reached from history with his touch
He spoke of the end of the human race
Now it’s staring us in the face
We can no longer steer the ship
It’s gone too far to stop the trip

FUN FACTS:
* Pete bought a funny purple plastic loudhailer toy from Maplins on the way to the studio one day.
* He proclaimed, among other things, "Project Terminated!" into it a few times, on its most Daleky setting, which was tremendous fun.
* The lyrics for this song were written 12th January 2011.
* This was another of the most stand-out and immediate demo tracks.
* Zakk has not yet recorded his guitar part for this song.
* The guitar is not quite in tune, sadly.
* Barry's guitar is in standard tuning, tuned down to D standard.
* That makes the key of the song C.
