This is an entirely fictitious tale set in an imaginary dystopian world. Here citizens wait nervously for the coming to power of their new leader. Any resemblance is coincidental of course.

This is drop G on the guitar.
Orange
Ever get the feeling that you stand on the brink?
The dread in your belly tells you it's worse than you think
The never-ending rise of the army of ghouls
They tread on heads to rise and disregard us as fools

The tyrant is a brute. He's a beast of a man.
His skin's a weird hue from years of too much fake tan
The fear and the threats are unmistakable (of)
We don't know yet what he is fully capable of
The future is...

Our liberties and freedoms now they're under attack
And what they take away, you'll know we'll never get back
They're tearing out our throats with the teeth of a shark
The future's dark
The future's dark
Overdrive - Distortion - Hyperactivity
Yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter

I had to sit still for a couple of moments to take it in, I'm glad there is no resemblance to an upcoming event ;)
Good stuff.
I do have an electric bass and guitar, i do have an acoustic guitar. I even have a keyboard and a Roland drum set What I seem to miss is skills. So to cure my at least 40y frustration I dicovered my instrument being my voice. So I finaly had the nerve to take singing lessons and make my voice heared thanks to Songcrafters.

ODH is on the loose again. I don't understand how you're cranking out these tunes. No genre is sacred and rather than getting milder... ODH is getting wilder.

Weird, but i like it!

Suitably disturbing lyrics, considering the subject matter - and the music is fitting for it.

Heavy stuff! Reminds me of early Nirvana, maybe with a bit of PiL thrown in there. I love all the crazy noise overdubs, definitely has a loose but tight feel. Nice progressions here too. The future's dark, the future's dark!

The Future is Orange lyrics lay out a bleak ever after. The music and vocal fits great with the future is dark theme. A real creative mix ODH!

Why, yes, I do.

This sounds like a rap song that was kidnapped by the secret police, had a hood thrown over its head, and woke up drugged deep in the bowels of a gulag.

Disturbing and urgent.

Magnificent Nick, this is creativity personified. Sounds massive and so original. This is one of the best I have heard from you and you already had a very high bar.
