Scoring the End of the World Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Motionless]
And we'll leave them behind

[Chorus: Chris Motionless]
Landmines composed in command lines
Amplify or die, it's us or them
This enclave's tearing through the airwaves
Screaming a war-torn requiem
Be not afraid

[Bridge: Chris Motionless]
Don't fall back, orchestrate the fallout
Score the ending of the world on this battleground
Survive yet another militant strike
Half-dead, but we're living up to the hype
Half-dead, as the speakers detonate like


[Chorus: Chris Motionless]
Landmines composed in command lines
Amplify or die, it's us or them (It's us or them)
This enclave's tearing through the airwaves
This is our war-torn requiem

[Outro: Ricky Horror, Chris Motionless, Both]
The dawning of a new age
These aren't just notes on a page
These are the weapons of rebirth (Requiem)

The dawning of a new age
Where we will take back the stage
To score the ending of the Earth

We're not afraid
Don't fall back, orchestrate the fallout
Score the ending of the world on this battleground

What did Motionless in White say about "Scoring the End of the World"?
Genius Answer

Chris “Motionless” Cerulli:

The title track is similar to “Cyberhex” in that it’s about people that are fighting the good fight for our world and making sacrifices that might be tough but are actually beneficial to humanity. “Cyberhex” is more from the personal side, and this song is coming from the observational side and feeling proud to be part of that group of people that are writing the end of the world as we know it, to then make a better one out of the ashes. Mick Gordon is one of our favourite composers—we play all the games he writes for—and he ended up transforming what I thought was a really good song into a great song.
