Beyond The Black Lyrics
The war is over
[inaudible line]
in the late 1900's, there is no human race
We split the planet with atomic bursts
Man has died
We steal (seal?) (see over?) the Earth
Negotiations are over
Troops are marching to their doom
All that I see is gonna hate me
The smoke is blotting out the view (moon?)
No, God please stop this bloody slaughter
Well, it's on the streets (attack?)
All the masses are preparing (rebelling?)
To withstand the dark attack
Will we make it back beyond the black?
Tanks are rolling in New York (in millions?)
See them come, and now they're gone
[inaudible line]
They said it came from just one bomb
No God please stop this bloody slaughter
Let it all repeat -- attack
All the masses are preparing (rebelling?)
To withstand the dark attack
Will we make it back beyond the black?
Will we make it back beyond?
Out of the face and aim for the heart
Seems the night has won
[inaudible line]
The war has just begun
Look out!
Fools who are blind got their worthless guns
Turn the young into old
Blinded by the knives in their hearts
I bet you fear the loss
Look out!
[Screams]
Watch out!
Beyond the black!!!!!!!

This song depicts a dystopian picture of a post-apocalyptic world devastated by war, a bleak future where the human race has been wiped out by atomic bombs, leaving only remnants of civilization behind. It highlights the scarcity of resources and the desperation for survival, mentioning that food and supplies had become more valuable than gold. It also suggests a premature loss of innocence and the burden placed on the younger generation to step up and rebuild what's left of the old generation's failures. In a world full of dark threats of rebellions and armed militia who kill and rape helpless victims for everything they want, there's a call to unite against the darkness and fight against the dark forces, suggesting a flicker of hope and the desire to rebuild and return to a world not marred by destruction.
What a haunting song! One of my favs of all time. I can't believe no one has commented.
Definitely a good song. From the beginning, it seems to be about WWII. But it could be about some future global war.
