This isn't... good
No, this is not at all
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday
Everybody dies!
Danger! Warning! Mayday!
Abandon, evacuate, get out of here!
(Oh no!) You lived like you did and you thought everything would be fine?
Now you scamper and run, but you've already out of time
It's rotting and deteriorating from the inside
There's no way to stop it and clearly there's nowhere to hide!
(Calculation of survival rate: zero percent)
Doom, gloom, the world goes boom
None will be spared, so don't assume
Not ragged clothes, nor silvers spooned
You're all the same when extinction looms
No food supplies (No water supplies)
No power supplies (Or other supplies)
No compromise (Just say your goodbyes)
And everybody dies!
No explanation (Or clarification)
No information (Or justification)
Forget the whys (Just cover your eyes)
And everybody dies!
(Oh no!) It's not like your screaming
Can somehow elongate your life
You're best off to shut up
And calm down and wait for it
The world is black (There's no way back)
You're way off the track (No plan of attack)
So recognize (Your pending demise)
And everybody dies!
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
(The ominous skies materialize and everybody dies!)
(Oh no!) Now holding your breath
Isn't going to bide you more time
You're best off to lay down and curl up and wait for it
The ultimate blast (Will be the last)
And when it's passed (So terribly fast)
It blinds your eyes (You're paralyzed)
And everybody dies!
The soil'll be red (Where people have bled)
The cities all dead (The radiation will spread)
It's no surprise (We swallowed the lies)
And everybody dies!
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
(The ominous skies materialize and everybody dies!)
♪
(Don't give up!)
We are still breathing
(Don't give in!)
That's what they want
(Don't despair!)
Just keep believing
(Don't lose heart!)
We'll blast our way out of here!
♪
Danger! Warning! Mayday!
Abandon, evacuate!
Follow me to a place beyond us
Follow me to another world
Time is short; the hour's upon us
Follow me to the stars!
♪
(Oh yes!) Not ideal conditions, but stable enough, you could try
The chances are slim, but perhaps you could make it alive?
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
And in the end beyond the violence
No humans will be found
Now a quantum supernova's blasted out!
Then ominous skies materialize
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
And everybody dies!
No, this is not at all
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday
