Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning is the End is the Beginning
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you’re so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it’s pain
I resolved to apply antiquity’s teachings to our world today, and so began my path to conquest. Conquest not of men, but of the evils that beset them. Fossil Fuels. Oil. Nuclear Power. Like a drug, and you, gentlemen, along with foreign interests, are the pushers

Our Cold War with the Russians isn’t based on ideology. Its based on fear. Fear of not having enough. But, if we can make resources infinite, we make war obsolete

The Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning
Send a heartbeat to
The void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintegrate
With no more to hate.
Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it’s pain.
Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace.
Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it’s pain.
Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left.
The echo bounces off me.
The shadow lost beside me.
There’s no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again.
Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it’s pain.
Strange
Strange
Strange…

A song from the soundtrack of the crappy movie “Batman and Robin” repurposed for the trailer to the awesome movie “Watchmen”. The tone of this version matches its nihilistic lyrics and the nihilistic tone of the film. An all encompassing sense of doom.
