Minutes To Midnight

Laying it all on the line one last time
The stakes are high with the ultimate crime
There's a war raging on to see what survives
Just as we were having the time of our lives

It's a tinderbox ready to blow
It's the very last night of the show
It's a doomsday scenario
With mere minutes to midnight
Minutes to midnight

The fire is burning and people are incensed
Underestimating what they're up against
Cos prove that we're wrong and we'll walk it back
But show them the same they change their line of attack

It's a tinderbox ready to blow
It's the very last night of the show
It's a doomsday scenario
With mere minutes to midnight
Minutes to midnight

A large crowd has formed at the base of the tower
Looking for change and speaking truth to power
But there's limited resolve in leaders at large
Now tell me which of you fools put the gangsters in charge?

It's a tinderbox ready to blow
It's the very last night of the show
It's a doomsday scenario
With mere minutes to midnight
Minutes to midnight

The whisper that turned into a shout
Is still fighting not to be drowned out
Depending on who wears the crown
To stop, delay or reverse this countdown

It's a tinderbox ready to blow
It's the very last night of the show
It's a doomsday scenario
With mere minutes to midnight
Minutes to midnight
