about

Set 100 years into the future, this song explores the possibility of a society governed mostly by science and reason, while the last few remaining religious fanatics threaten to end human existence in order to prove their prophecies.

lyrics

Imagine the world
One Hundred years from now...
Will humans even be alive?
Or will we live in an Age of Enlightenment,
While only a handful of the crazies survive?

Threatening again how the end is near,
And insisting that everyone lives in fear?
We watch and wait...
As the war of the last zealots decides our fate...

Fanning the flames of their own apocalypse,
The lunatics just have to be right...
Ushering in the end as they lick their lips,
And justifying their actions through imagined slights!

Oh, what chronic victims!
Expecting sympathy after waging a war on mankind!
Dying to prove their convictions,
No matter what evidence science may find...

Oh, with so many ways we could die...
There's no need to actively try...
No matter what your book may claim,
Having actual answers, and wishing for them -- are not the same!

So let us decide on the future in which we'll reside...
Shall we live in a world governed by reason?
Or succumb to demands by which we cannot abide?

Fanatical clerics wage war to the end;
Unto their imagined hells may their spirits descend...
