Midnight approaches
Tick tick tock
Won't someone stop
The Doomsday Clock
From striking oil
Drilling rock
Thirsting soil
Aftershock
Deserted hourglass of sand
Shifts to resource hungry hand
Tyrants of time assume command
Greed consumes
This wasted land

First come the roaches
Tick tick tock
The bugs can't stop
The Doomsday Clock
With beehive brains
No voice to talk
And droning minds
Comprise the flock
As lone wolves feast
On sheep they stalk

Then fear encroaches
Tick tick tock
Too scared to stop
The Doomsday Clock
As violence claims
Each city block
Blood drawn on streets
Like sidewalk chalk
When Hatred's loaded
Gun is cocked

Beyond reproaches
Tick tick tock
How could they stop
The Doomsday Clock
When despots trade
In human stock
Waging war
Upon this rock
As profits slaughter
More livestock

The end approaches
Tick tick tock
No hope to stop
The Doomsday Clock
As poisoned skies
Corrode this rock
With toxic lies
Controlling hourglass of sand
Clenched by Atlas choking hand
Titans of industry command
Still Chronos rules
This dying land

So this is the end
The bitter conclusion
No playing pretend
Maintains this illusion

Distance is dread
Time equates fear
Hope hung by a thread
Now we find ourselves here

Giving up we accept
Giving in we agree
To allow disconnect
To set ourselves free

Nights of constant regret
Days of endless rain
Bring forth the onset
Of perpetual pain

One last time we shall stare
Into fading hope eyes
One last time we shall share
Such heartbroken cries

So now it has ended
We sever accord
This love we have tended
Now dies by the sword
