The Warning: Stefan Goodchild featuring Doudou N'Diaye Rose
This remix featuring African drummer Doudou N'Diaye Rose is on Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D. It starts with a piano melody that is joined by drum elements. The verse features the vocals over a drum beat accompanied by a droning synth. Oddly enough, it seems as though the lyric "You piss it all away" was censored on this mix. (Of course, the only available version as of this writing is the leak. There is a possibility that this is a radio-friendly promo.) The new synths and the drums create an even more foreboding atmosphere than what is heard in the Year Zero original. At the end a sound element similar to the guitar in the original is heard under the fading synths.
Lyrics
Some say it was a warning
Some say it's a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
"You've become a virus
Killing off his host
We been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard her cry
We have come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean"
Your time is ticking away
That last line of the song is said as follows in the actual recording:
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
