its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Failed creation
In all his arrogance
Revelation has prophesied retribution
A plague of suffering castigations
Open your fucking eyes! (x3)
Seas wash us away
Wars being waged
Famine stricken cultures still enslaved
Blind to the signs
A fate we've contrived
Marching headfirst into this...
Grand damnation
The final holocaust
Casting us as one into abyss
Submerged beneath oceans of self-disgust
All forsaken
And burning for their lies(x2)
Open your fucking eyes!
Seas wash us away
Wars being waged
Famine stricken cultures still enslaved
Blind to the signs
A fate we've contrived
Marching toward the...
End of time!
Are we so blind to the signs?
Suffer the fate we've contrived
Descending hollow shells
Precipitation of shrapnel
Falling from the sky
Chemical gassing the terrified masses
Engulfing the world in denial
In denial!
Absolution cleansing their wicked minds
Entradition for sins comprised
Penitence, man kneeling before his cross
Ask yourself where...
Where does his judgment lie? (x2)
Open your fucking eyes!
Seas wash us away
Wars being waged
Famine stricken cultures still enslaved
Blind to the signs
A fate we've contrived
Marching toward the...
End of time
Are we so blind to the signs?
Suffer the fate we've contrived
This time their lies
Rendering our senses so blind
Suffer this fate we've contrived
In all his arrogance
Revelation has prophesied retribution
A plague of suffering castigations
Open your fucking eyes! (x3)
Seas wash us away
Wars being waged
Famine stricken cultures still enslaved
Blind to the signs
A fate we've contrived
Marching headfirst into this...
Grand damnation
The final holocaust
Casting us as one into abyss
Submerged beneath oceans of self-disgust
All forsaken
And burning for their lies(x2)
Open your fucking eyes!
Seas wash us away
Wars being waged
Famine stricken cultures still enslaved
Blind to the signs
A fate we've contrived
Marching toward the...
End of time!
Are we so blind to the signs?
Suffer the fate we've contrived
Descending hollow shells
Precipitation of shrapnel
Falling from the sky
Chemical gassing the terrified masses
Engulfing the world in denial
In denial!
Absolution cleansing their wicked minds
Entradition for sins comprised
Penitence, man kneeling before his cross
Ask yourself where...
Where does his judgment lie? (x2)
Open your fucking eyes!
Seas wash us away
Wars being waged
Famine stricken cultures still enslaved
Blind to the signs
A fate we've contrived
Marching toward the...
End of time
Are we so blind to the signs?
Suffer the fate we've contrived
This time their lies
Rendering our senses so blind
Suffer this fate we've contrived

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
