Dark Company: Project Terminated (demo)

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 Lyrics by P. Greatorex January 12th 2011. Music by G. Davies/P. Greatorex This arrangement by Dark Company. Copyright © 2011 D & G Music/Explicit Music. Cover Art: “Give It All You've Got!” by Peter Greatorex.

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.
