[ Nuclear Fallout DEMO ]

© 2007 A Hopeless Motive

Recorded on Paul's MR8 studio. If you have this, you got a burnt copy from us because it's not for sale. We released these songs online as a teaser demo for the next album, It's Hopeless..., expected later this year. By the way, this is not any sort of album cover; it's just a concept image used on our MySpace for the song.

lyrics by ryan kerley

you look to the horizon and you see the bombs falling
as the sun has started setting on the last day your eyes will see
this is not the future you dreamed of when you were younger
but in a flash you turn to dust with the rest of humanity

THERE'S NO WAY OUT

[chorus]:
there is no leader strong enough to cover up this mistake
no bomb shelter big enough to save us from our graves
how will you tell your children that it will be okay
when no one in this world will live to see another day?

everything you knew in life,
your perfect house, your kids, your wife
it all flashes before your eyes
as mushroom clouds fill up the sky
no more kids for you to raise
the world has seen the end of days
i can't accept this as our fate
we won't accept this as our fate

THERE'S NO WAY OUT

[chorus]

NUCLEAR
FALLOUT
NUCLEAR
FALLOUT
NUCLEAR
FALLOUT
THERE'S NO WAY OUT

lyrics by ryan kerley

future, hopeful things ahead
past, looking back, i laugh
present, haven't heard a thing
i'm a slave to my own ways and i'm not going back
if i don't learn from my mistakes
then i'm doomed to repeat them yet again
same old decisions that i make
a repetative cycle that won't change til i'm dead

DEAD

[chorus]:
we spend the present planning for a future that won't last
you can't predict what lies ahead, you cannot change the past
if we don't put up what's wrong today, we'll have the same pain as yesterday
tomorrow will just end up being a cycle to replay, the
repitious daily life will make you think there's no hope in sight
break the cycle, it won't last, future dictated by the past
dreaming in our present state of "a brighter future on the way"
ignoring all these things we should be thankful for today

time will always win the race
but the point is not to win the game
they don't know it's just a test
i can tell, but I feel like everything's the same
up until the day we meet death
i keep feeling like there's something worse
pay attention to what you got
because life's not as fragile as we all were at birth

BIRTH

[chorus]

music by jett bell, ryan kerley, paul bennis, sam karr, and kyle smith
lyrics by kyle williams

screams from the gallows, the voices of anger
we'll spit in your face and get smacked with danger
wait til we charge right through your gates
we are the species to annihilate

[chorus]:
you are the reason that we fight
you have a source of this plight
you are the reason that we hate
we are the people and you are the state

we live through our lives with a gun to our heads
we give up your freedom cuz soon you'll be dead
a gunshot rang out as a body fell
a hopeless motive in a living hell

[chorus]
