When The Sky Turns Black (featuring Apocapunks)

from Art Rock Asteroids by Buskers

about

This is an extremely old song originally recorded for an animation project with UW-Parkside's Animation Club. The instruments were recorded in 2009, the vocals later after many, many retakes. The lyrics are from some poem I wrote for a class I was taking at the time, which I was writing like a song, but not the song it eventually became. The "Apocapunks" were together for one recording session, this one, and we never really named the group because we did this one recording and that's it. We planned on making more songs, but we never got around to it and the whole project fizzled out. Unfortunately, the bassist's full name is lost to time, but I remember his first name being "Brad". The name I'm using for the band and the song's subtitle was the name of the project.

"Why does this track cost $1 instead of name-your-price like the others" you might ask? Because I contacted Mike Pallister recently, and he wanted some cut from the song. If I find the other two members who also recorded on this track, I will renegotiate the price, but I'm giving half right now to Mike. It's only fair, right?

lyrics

The gods are dead
We must now fend for ourselves
The Earth is burned
Now there is nothing here
A cataclysm
Brings this world to Hell
Newtonian laws
Destroyed, we disappear

Disorder has taken my home away
Crops are burned in a worldwide fire
Chaos created through our negligence
Humans extinct in a funeral pyre

Apocalypse comes
Closer every day
Supernova
Explosion of the sun

Radiation burning our skin away
All life destroyed, total annihilation

Laws and conventions
Have now been attacked
Prepare for the day
When the sky turns black
