Countdown to midnight Mindless machines gave the order To murder the innocent Wake up, the dream is over And now it's up to me All of my life I have raced against the clock But now I feel time staring back at me This is greater than who I am The event that will change the course of history Countdown to midnight One millions lives at stake The encasement is a shrine And the wires intertwine To worship destruction And the death of every line To save us from the day We lose all our faith And the world is set on fire Burns so bright It's seen across the world The clock strikes twelve To all our fears Sound the alarm Because I failed To deliver us From hell on earth There is no escape So make your peace I tried my best To stop this Their plan in place Their heinous crime A shot that's heard Around the world Let it be known This is murder
