The Doomsday Clock 2 Minute To Midnight

the11:23pm
tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
it's kronos master
tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
11:30pm
plans of world destruction
ending time what's he's after
11:37pm
tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
maker of grand father clocks
builder of body, creator of face
11:44pm
tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
hands and numbers encircled
tic-tic-tics and tock
mechanical clock, set ahead a mark
11:51pm
tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
world end blow up
set time ahead five-minute fast
awaiting the nuclear blast
tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
time running out
Christian Huygens built first pendulum clock
fashion by atomic power the doomsday clock was
11:58pm
tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
this bomb ticking set to go, to ignite
the doomsday clock 2 minutes to midnight
