The Misfits - "The Forbidden Zone"

The Misfits are a punk/rock/heavy metal band well known for drawing inspiration from classic sci-fi and horror (B-)movies. You can notice that just looking at the title of their songs - "Day of the Dead", "Halloween II", "Lost in Space", "Pumpkinhead", "Return of the Fly"...

One of their tracks is a THX-1138 tribute (We Are 138), and I can even call it a tribute to my blog, hehe...

But my personal favourite is the PLANET OF THE APES-themed song "Forbidden Zone"

Enjoy!

Some say that's where man began
On this wasted piece of land
Where evolution's yet to show
Forbidden zone

Blasting into outer space
The planet of the apes
Evolution's one hero

Crossing a plane into another dimension
A million years into the future
Crossing a path into another dimension
We, the unseen

Back on earth
It's all you'll read about
All the evidence destroyed

Maps and legends
Mark the firewalls
We, the lost abandoned saviors
Of the forbidden zone

Some say that's where man began
On this wasted piece of land
Where evolution's yet to show
Forbidden zone

Blasting into outer space
The planet of the apes
Evolution's one hero

And so he made it to another dimension
A million years into the future
He takes a path into another dimension
We, the unseen

Back on earth
It's all you'll read about
All the evidence destroyed

Maps and legends
Mark the firewalls
We, the lost abandoned saviors

Back on earth
It's all you'll read about
All the evidence destroyed

Maps and legends mark the firewalls
We, the lost abandoned saviors
We shall sustain the forbidden zone

The forbidden zone
The forbidden zone

Blasting into outer space
The planet of the apes
Evolution's one hero
Forbidden zone
