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.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

I'm a new musician from the UK and have only recently started to produce music on a more regular basis.

From as far back as I can remember, music has always played a pivotal role in my life and has been my driving force.

I have a very varied taste in music and enjoy listening to anything from Classical to Heavy Metal to Hip Hop to name just a few.

I love to experiment with different genres of music & I plan to eventually release these in the future under different projects 

Future Looks Deep and Golden Tranquility are a small sample of what I plan to release as part of my Classical project.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music, I hope that you enjoyed it and that you will stay with me on this musical journey of discovery.
