Total War 2006 is a 1999 novel by Simon Pearson.
The future history the book lays out begins in 2001 with many minor conflicts taking place around the world, such as the end of the Algerian civil war, victory belonging to the Islamic Fundamentalists; Morocco following suit; and a military coup in Turkey to prevent such a development.
Meanwhile the United Kingdom and the USA invade Iraq as the final action of a failing US president whose nation is attempting to draw ever more into isolationism. Next North Korea announces that possesses nuclear weapons; a second Korean War follows closely followed by an attempted Chinese invasion of Taiwan which is easily stopped by American air power. In 2003 Russia has a military coup which (officially) restores the communists to power, closely followed by an invasion of the Baltic States resulting in a conventional war with NATO. Whilst the attention of the west is drawn here however Saudi Arabia also has a take over by Islamic fundamentalists. The Islamic Alliance is united behind a Saladin-like figure and forms an alliance of convenience with Russia launching its attack on the West, the principle acts of terrorism being a midget submarine attack on San Francisco harbour and an attack on RAF Brize Norton by home grown Brummie Islamic terrorists.
The moon is full the mirror cracks
Smiling from the depths He reigns
See the red eyes in the dark
Tonight the chosen break their chains
Evil dwells, eternal, unstoppable
The warriors of darkness ride
Our souls rejoice in cries of pain
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
We are wolves and we are proud
Blood drips from our unholy jaws
Tonight we claim our victory
The priest torn apart by evil claws
We drink the virgin´s blood
The High One speaks to us
We hunt on Diana´s trail
We cry in Ecstasy
We know no more fear
The eternal fire we feel
Our fate we embrace
To no mortal man we kneel
Ages old warriors atop a mountain cold
The shining swords of hate by their sides
To an eternal life of blood and honour called
By the One who rides disguised through the night
One with darkness in wind and rain
They feel the Fourth Storm drawing near
For centuries for The Sign they waited
At last the eternal winter is here
They have returned to wipe out their shame
The sheep will drown in blood and pain
Revenge is sweet as a virgin´s flesh
All your fuckin´ prayers said in vain
At last the reign of the king of slaves
And his worshippers will be done
The cross nothing but a memory
When the final war is won
For two centuries the slaves of Christ
Spat on mankind´s true Father
But now clouds of darkness and hate
Above Jehovah´s throne gather

Do you want total war
Turn man into a beast once more?
Do you want to rise and kill
To show the world an iron will?
Do you want total war
Throw out Christ and bring back Thor?
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Do you want to stand and fight
To rip asunder this pallid night?
To smite your foes that they might die
To splatter blood across the sky?
Do you want might to prevail
To kick aside the weak and frail?
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war
To see life's will return once more?
Do you want total war?
Unleash the beast in man once more?
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes you want total war
Yes you want total war
Total War! Total War!
War is eternal. War is universal
There is no beginning, and there is no peace
Nor could there ever be
Even if the beast man desired it so
For man is subject to the same law
Which governs all living things
And this law dictates
That every living thing maintained its existence
Exclusively by depriving other living things of theirs
So it has always been
And so it shall ever be
Man is a beast of prey
History proves that man is a beast of prey
The beast of prey conquers countries
Founds great realms through subjugation of other subjugations
Creates states and organizes civilizations
Exclusively to enjoy his booty in peace
Attack and defense, suffering and struggle
Victory and defeat, domination and servitude
All sealed with blood
We walk the streets together,
with smiles on our faces
We talk nice to each other,
and we listen when we have to
Maybe it's just over-rated,
maybe I'm just isolated
We walk the streets together,
we walk the streets together but
You don't like my friends
You don't like my clothes
You think that I'm crazy
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Nothing ever comes between us,
a no-man's land, a danger zone
Look at us prop up the pieces,
we live together on our own
Maybe it's just over-rated,
maybe I'm just isolated
We walk the streets together,
we walk the streets together but
You don't like my friends
You don't like my clothes
You think that I'm crazy
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
This is total war, girl
This is total war, girl
This is total war, girl
This is total war, girl
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Look and see the doom's day is here
Candles firing, shells exploded
The final truth is definitive
Crush the Christian opposition
Total war
Destruction is here
Final war
Armageddon is f**king there
Look and see darkness is here
A tanks are rumbling forwards
The final truth the fist of Satan
Perish the flames of hell
Total war
Destruction is here
Final war
Armageddon is f**king there
Total war
Destruction is here
Total war
Do you want total war fight until you're [sic] soul's sore
Do you want fire fall sour rain strange cabal
Do you want to recant wear the drum sycophant
Do you want total war til there is nothing more
Do you want marching men waging war on goodly sin
Do you want total war bang the drum saboteur
Thousands of soldiers march to their fate
Lambs to the slaughter, certain death awaits
Trapped on a field littered with bones
Nations of falling lying below
Now you march forwards- to die
Ten million bodies piled high
Mechanized engines of war spitting lead
Horrors of battle fill you with dread
Bombs are falling, death is calling
Fire raining from the sky
Blown to bits by a hail of lead
Fall without a reason why
Call upon gods of death
Fight! Awaken all your rage
Launch the attack, no turning back
Charge! Your destiny awaits
The order is given, over the top
Scream, for you it is too late
We'll give you what you've been waiting for-
TOTAL WAR
Not ready to die, though your time will come tonight
Total War
Battle continues, will you ever win the fight
Total War
All the life that was in you, now is gone
Total War
The battle's over but the war rages on
Hailing the last crusade
Solving the plans we've made
Deeming we are heaven sent
There is nothing to repent
Destroy the world to save it
Amerce who have to acquit
See what you are fighting for
This is total war
Marching through ashes of our own
Leaving a trace of ruins and bloody bones
We divide good from evil
Ignoring the dirt at our steeple
Stalking through a wasted land
Do you want total war
Throw out Christ and bring back Thor?
Do you want total war
Unleash the beast in man once more?
Do you want total war
Dance and do the lion's roar?
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
Yes, you want total war!
Do you want total war
To see life's will return once more?
Do you want might to prevail
To kick aside the weak and frail?
To smite your foes that they might die
To splatter blood across the sky?
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
Yes, you want total war!
Do you want to rise and kill
To show the world an iron will?
Do you want to stand and fight
To rip asunder this pallid night?
All return the will of man
Let it burn and start again
Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
