Day of Judgment (based on "Terminator 2: Judgment Day") - Spotify Version

(Verse 1) August twenty-ninth, nineteen ninety seven . Humanity finally learned its lesson . Paid the price for playing games . Billions burned in flames . Wondering how it came about? . We fucked around . And we found out... . (Verse 2 - wistful, sad) Why’d you have to leave me, soldier? . You abandoned your post . For one more night, I’d long to hold you . But our son - our John . He needed you the most . (Pre-Chorus - bitter, angry) Couldn’t listen to it, can’t you tell? . The ticking clock of doom . I tried to blow that place to hell . I ended up in a padded room . (Chorus) Storm clouds gather black as night . Armageddon’s on the way . We vanish in a flash of light . Judgment Day . Judgment Day . It's Judgment Day! . (Verse 3 - confused) Run from death in liquid forms . Rescued by face of fear . When hate and love assume new norms . Is his father-figure here? . (Verse 4 - determined, machine-like, emotionless) My soul has frozen, turned to ice . Milk of mercy siphoned . There must be a sacrifice . Miles. . Bennett. . Dyson (Bridge - machine-like) I’ll break my vow . My hands, unclean . No difference now . Between woman and machine . (Interlude, spoken) Hasta la vista, baby… . (Chorus) Seven trumpets blowing loud . Midnight on clock is near . Boom and bloom of mushroom clouds . Judgment Day is here! . Judgment Day is here! . Judgment Day is here! . (Verse 5 - starts off quiet, then gets hopeful and warm and emotional, pause after "simply this" before resuming with "love") I gazed deep into the abyss . (I'll be back) . The darkness thought it won . Brought myself back with simply this: . Love. . I love my son. . (Verse 6 - satisfaction, a tinge of sadness) We face the faceless death together . Toss its ass into the steel . John loses another father forever . He’ll cope. Together we’ll heal . (Verse 7 - hopeful, emotional, human, warm) Future not set, Fate not settled . Go create a new one. . The biggest threat’s not made of metal . It's stopping being human . (Outro) Rivers flow, children play . Beneath my feet, soft grass . My son and I slip away . Judgment Day has passed . Judgment Day has passed . Judgment Day has passed. . (I passed)
