Recorded in 1989 on my Tascam 4-Track - This song chronicles the storyline for the movie "Beneath The Planet of the Apes"
lyrics
Simian Society
Passed through a rip in time and space
To find Earth dominated by a malevolent race
Humanity in the wild, humanity in the cage
Humanity bowing before civilized apes
Humans talk, how can it be?
When you're living in a Simian Society
Nowhere a human can find protection
Left to die for experimental dissection
When you're trapped in a Simian Society
Where apes dominate and man lives in captivity
Where man's ambitions are controlled by fear
Now the tables have turned, man has finally learned
It's too late...the end is near
Chased by apes into an underground cave
A remenance of the world that man once made
Follow the tunnel to the mutant shrine
Where they bow before the Alpha-Omega, missile divine
The mutants destroyed by the apes of wrath
A last ditch effort with a dying breath
The lever is pulled, the missile detonated
All life destroyed, the Earth's annihilated
When you're trapped in a Simian Society
Where apes dominate and man lives in captivity
Where man's ambitions are controlled by fear
Now the tables have turned, man has finally learned
It's too late...the end is near
Crash land, dead man, get away while you still can
No escape, no return, society's been overturned
Talking apes a deadly sort, man is hunted down for sport
With a woman by my side, on the horse away we ride
Enter the Forbidden Zone, an evil place where none shall go
Hunting apes close behind, mutants toying with their minds
Find the subway, get away, push the button, blown away
The past was then, the future's now
To the missile all will bow
When you're trapped in a Simian Society
Is Man to be suppressed by a chimpanzee?
Will gorillas conquer? Will Orangutans rule?
While mutated humans live under the ground
Alpha-Omega spells certain doom
