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 d**h of every line Written by heroes 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
