This Is The End
This is the end
As the dust settles the desolate wasteland
A nuclear oblivion turns life to sand
Shadows of the vaporized souls
Now close your eyes as the horror unfolds
They said it would come but we didn't care
Hidden in plain sight it was always there
Time is short the clock ticks on
Another minute passes we're almost done
This is the end
The minute hand has reached the top
Doomsday begins and it will not stop
It's your own making you ignored the signs
And now it's over we're out of time
The question is whether organized human life will indeed survive
And not in the distant future
On August 6th 1945 the United States obliterated the city of Hiroshima
Humans in their glory had achieved the capacity to destroy everything
Bombs falling missed the last warning
No one surviving no point in hiding
Take one last breath as you're gripped by death
Raining down from the sky people die on their knees
Raining down from the sky
Nuclear disease
Only shadows of where you once stood
Left to remind them life was so good
back to dirt and dust
This is the end for us
Raining down from the sky people die on their knees
Raining down from the sky nuclear disease
Raining down from the sky people die on their knees
Raining down from the sky
Nuclear disease
Doomsday machine an automatic system set up
So that everything becomes annihilated
And as he points out we have indeed constructed such a machine
We're living with it
As the dust settles the desolate wasteland
A nuclear oblivion turns life to sand
Shadows of the vaporized souls
Now close your eyes as the horror unfolds
They said it would come but we didn't care
Hidden in plain sight it was always there
Time is short the clock ticks on
Another minute passes we're almost done
This is the end
The minute hand has reached the top
Doomsday begins and it will not stop
It's your own making you ignored the signs
And now it's over we're out of time
The question is whether organized human life will indeed survive
And not in the distant future
On August 6th 1945 the United States obliterated the city of Hiroshima
Humans in their glory had achieved the capacity to destroy everything
Bombs falling missed the last warning
No one surviving no point in hiding
Take one last breath as you're gripped by death
Raining down from the sky people die on their knees
Raining down from the sky
Nuclear disease
Only shadows of where you once stood
Left to remind them life was so good
back to dirt and dust
This is the end for us
Raining down from the sky people die on their knees
Raining down from the sky nuclear disease
Raining down from the sky people die on their knees
Raining down from the sky
Nuclear disease
Doomsday machine an automatic system set up
So that everything becomes annihilated
And as he points out we have indeed constructed such a machine
We're living with it
