They're watching

Do they find some sick

Amusement from our fear,

Enjoyment from our pain?

The fog rolls in

With stabbing needle points

And I can't breathe at all

Just seeing red through the rain.

Don't give up

You can't die on me now

Don't you dare give up

Don't give them the satisfaction

Tick tock go the hours

We're running out of time

Counting down 'til lightning strikes

And the cannons echo human crime

Now we run, and we fight,

And we try not to drown

As we face the countdown

My mind's breaking up

Does trust even exist anymore?

I can't quite tell

The lines have all been blurred.

Was that a cry in the distant darkness?

That sound that ripped through my heart?

I can't be sure,

Can't believe in what I heard.

They're animals

But like nothing I recognise

And now overhead

The wave is roaring, on the rise

Tick tock go the hours

We're running out of time

Counting down 'til lightning strikes

And the cannons echo human crime

Now we run, and we fight,

And we try not to drown

As we face the countdown

The storm is calling us on

Could that be our chance?

Is this our way, can we show them

They don't control us, there'll be no more

Dance puppet, dance puppet, dance?

Tick tock go the hours

We're running out of time

Counting down 'til lightning strikes

And the cannons echo human crime

Now it's time, time to fly

Time to blaze through the sky

Light the match, start the flame,

Break the rules of the game,

Drop the bomb bring the sound,

Just try not to drown

As we face, we face, we face…

The countdown.
