about

A song about the end of humanity, where I put on my best Max Cavalera impression. It is really intense to sing like that, which is why I don't do it a lot.

I had the idea of this song for years, predating Buskers. I had an idea of a concept album of sorts, representing the beginning and end of things. The first song would've been called "Alpha" and the last "Omega". A lot has changed since then, but the "Omega" song idea stuck around. Of course, the structure in my head changed completely over time until the final version (the one featured here) would remain.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Acid rain falls
Upon the grain
Pockmark the earth
Leaving a blood stain
Electric grid
It shorted out
Savagery rise
Of that there is no doubt
Chaos coming here to destroy the earth
Bringing technology down to the dirt
There is nowhere for any to hide
Extinction's coming, the turning of the tide

Chorus:
Finalé
Armageddon
Apocalypse
Revelation
This is what's coming
Just 'round the bend
This is Omega
This is the end

Verse 2:
Fires of Ice
Rise up from Hell
Freezerburned land
Little here still dwells
Humans are dead
End of feature
Begin new reel
New dominant creature
Natural selection taking its course
The new creature cannot be any worse
After all, the way humanity died
Was a massive global suicide

Chorus

I knew Joe Mayeur, the guitarist on this album. It's also a great album if you're into reggae from the Dairy State. Buskers
