about

World War Terminus was the name Philip K Dick gave to the war that wrecked the planet in ‘Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep’. At least one side in the war used a weapon that caused radioactive fallout that killed most animals, and gives an ongoing risk of brain damage. The war destroyed all records of what happened before the war, so nobody knows what they were fighting over.

lyrics

I don’t remember World War Terminus
When it started, who won?
Who caused the dust that brought the birds down?
Was it accident or design?

World War Terminus
The gap in history
The gaping wasting never ending scar
The forgotten reminder of
How far we can go when we go too far
World War Terminus
Another war to end all war
World War Terminus
Nothing left to fight for
Aggressive defence left a planet betrayed
With a sickness
It’s just the last world war again

A blank screen in history
World War Terminus
Tabula rasa
Wiper of slates
Nullify states
The elite escape
The left behind wait

I imagine we all suspect
The other side started the war
Whatever side of the planet we’re on
When no-one knows who’s to blame, where does forgiveness lie?
In a radioactive grave

I can feel what it’s doing to me
Where my mind used to be sharp
Now thinking through fuzz
I can almost feel the words in my head
But they won’t come out
My mind’s stuck, my mind’s stuck
it’s not personal
But World War Terminus
Look what you’ve done to me
Trapped on a dying world
You and I
The people who made it could afford to escape it
People like us are stuck
