For a long time, I was worried about how to update this song for this release. Then I hit on the idea of not changing it at all and keeping every bit of the unintentional over-the-topness of it in, SNES explosion sounds and all.
I'm trying to think of other words to describe the theme of this song, but I hate the fact that nuclear weapons exist. That's about all there is to it. When it was first released I had a few people complimenting me on the lyrics, but looking at it now I can't really see why. :P
I only realized I'd stolen the title off Satam after finishing the song... This is the last one on the "From Alpha to Omega" album.
[Lyrics]
Technology is always pushing forward
Metal, machines and genes
Above all, we desire power
But we don't yet have the means
To threaten the others around us
A weapon with the power of a thousand suns
We don't trust our neighbours
The Doomsday Project has begun
Towering over the horizon
Our species lives in fear
The gears of madness are grinding
As Judgement Day draws near
Towering over the horizon
Our species lives in fear
The gears of madness are grinding
The Doomsday Project is here
But you don't know your own power
A weapon with the force of a million suns
May our children forgive us
For all we have done
Towering over the horizon
Our species lives in fear
The gears of madness are grinding
And Judgement Day is near
As midnight strikes will you cry
For the humans that destroyed themselves
The gears of madness are grinding
The Doomsday Project is here
Every moment may be in the final hour
Mankind, think what you've done
We have to escape from your hunger for power
Bury ourselves under mountains of stone
Towering over the horizon
Our species lives in fear
The gears of madness are grinding
As Judgement Day draws near
Towering over the horizon
Our species lives in fear
The gears of madness are grinding
The Doomsday Project is here
Oh... as midnight strikes will you cry
For the humans that destroyed themselves
The gears of madness are grinding
And the Doomsday Project is here

Of course, I'd absolutely love to hear it covered :) I don't actually have tab notation for the guitar parts... but what I can give you is the source file that was made in Modplug Tracker.

From that, you can get the individual notes for each channel by opening them in any tracker and listening to them individually - I hope that's helpful in some way.
Thanks a lot for the comment, either way!

Hello to you too :P Yes, now you know my terrible secret - although from looking at some of my song lyrics, I thought it may be pretty easy to guess :) I joined this site in particular as I saw it had a very active community even around the music submissions.
Thanks for the comment and watch, I hope you continue to enjoy my music - particularly as I've got some entirely new songs coming up!

I never got around to putting most of the songs from the Dreamscape album up - I had planned to make them available as they were released on Modplug (a plan that went out the window when the site disappeared). But now they're out here, perhaps I should update that...
For the gaps in the very early albums, it's matter of just not being able to find the song files again. I'll have to get someone to go on my old computer at home and see if they're there.
