All of the guitar tracks are a Gibson ES-335 Pro through a Fender Bassbreaker 15 running direct output with built in cabinet emulation. The pedal chain for the fuzzed rhythm tracks was a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into a Klon KTR. For the quieter rhythm tracks it was the Klon KTR into a Keeley Super Phat Mod. The lead track was a Real McCoy Customs RMC10 into an MXR Phase 95 into the Klon KTR into a Malaise Forever Customs Black Lives Matter.

chorus
the future calling
it won’t be ignored
the end is coming
claim it, your reward

verse 1
its what they wanted
they want to tear it down
reason’s departed
put their faith in that clown

verse 2 & 3
the world is ending
at least it feels that way
the world is burning
won’t last another day

Outro
Ok
this a new day
place blame
this is a new way
