Brace Yourself for Impact Lyrics by Pencarrow

Dawn Simulation

2016

[Verse 1]
I knew a man who was there
A silent witness, a presence on the air
In youth and innocence, completely unaware
Of the dire consequences
A Rainbow set alight
The Warrior defeated, rests beneath the tide
Replacements disembarked, but the silent protest
Fell on deaf ears…
Competing, aggressive, defensive policies
Escalates hair trigger mentality
Entire nations living in diaspora
“With great power, comes great responsibility”
Aberration
Abomination
Mutually assured destruction reigns over all
But has the world learnt from its past mistakes?
[Choir]
You must give us your land; for the good of mankind
Take this ink dipped quill and sign the dotted line
Come, take our hand, step away from your simple life
Never to return; no time to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Split the atom, split the reef
Detonate this static heap
Close your eyes, prepare to leap and
Brace yourself for impact
Light the fire, turn the gauge
Release the dragon from its cage
Pinch its ass and let it rage and
Brace yourself for impact
Pull the trigger, pull the pin
Amplify your inner sin
Watch as the countdown begins then
Brace yourself for impact
Cut the wires black or green
The last thing you will ever see
You’ve booked a trip to smithereens so
Brace yourself for impact
When all is said and done
The mushroom cloud salutes the sun
Go find yourself another one and
Brace yourself for impact
Here and there and far afield
Are hidden ghosts you never feel
Still, every time a bigger yield
So brace yourself for impact
Unleash the demons hidden in the fabric of our matter
Then proclaim them as our saviour?
Better brace yourself for impact
