One Way Ticket To Midnight, Lyrics

Ah — ahh — aaah — aaahh...
Ah — ahh... ah — ahhh...
Aaah — aaah — ahh — ahhh...
Ahhh — ahhh — ahhh — ahhh...

Let the final countdown begin
Proxy war in Afghanistan
Saudi Arabia vs. Iran 
India vs Pakistan
Sunni vs Shia
The 38th divide of Korea 
China taking over the sea                     
As the US debt is skyrocketing
Militaries expand 
Droughts and famine in farmlands
Christian exodus from the middle east
Refugees from the lack of peace 
Annexations by Russia
No one screams in hysteria 
Tactical nukes are OK to use
Mankind has a short fuse

One, two, three, four, five
What to do to stay alive

Cassandra sings, her cry denied
Syphilis scar grins wide from side to side
The Trojan rolls on club-lit streets
While merry men drink, and Hector is beat
Apollo strikes with heaven’s flame
Ash tattoos walls with lovers’ names
Morals drown in dopamine
Dawn breaks early, ends the dream

To simplify, put your head between your legs
And kiss your --- goodbye
God, please hold our hand
The world is sinking in quicksand
Angry, greedy statesmen 
Sounding the drum of the horsemen
Artificial intelligence 
Climate change and mass surveillance
With two minutes left to midnight
Listen for the sound
Drop the beat, hit the ground
Dynamite as bright as daylight
Signaling for help with a flashlight
Playing the rave, igniting the night

Ah — ahh — aaah — aaahh...
Ah — ahh... ah — ahhh...
Aaah — aaah — ahh — ahhh...
Ahhh — ahhh — ahhh — ahhh...

One, two, three, four, five
What to do to stay alive

Cassandra sings, her cry denied
Syphilis scar grins wide from side to side
The Trojan rolls on club-lit streets
While merry men drink, and Hector is beat
Apollo strikes with heaven’s flame
Ash tattoos walls with lovers’ names
Morals drown in dopamine
Dawn breaks early, ends the dream

The blasting wave, in the grave, later love 
Smitten with the fireworks above
The nuclear deterrent is gone
Nothing but an oxymoron
The plight of mankind fight
Cockroaches become the spotlight
As they write what happened at midnight

One, two, three, four, five
What to do to stay alive

Cassandra sings, her cry denied
Syphilis scar grins wide from side to side
The Trojan rolls on club-lit streets
While merry men drink, and Hector is beat
Apollo strikes with heaven’s flame
Ash tattoos walls with lovers’ names
Morals drown in dopamine
Dawn breaks early, ends the dream

Ah — ahh — aaah — aaahh...
Ah — ahh... ah — ahhh...
Aaah — aaah — ahh — ahhh...
Ahhh — ahhh — ahhh — ahhh...
Ah — ahh — aaah — aaahh...
Ah — ahh... ah — ahhh...
Aaah — aaah — ahh — ahhh...
Ahhh — ahhh — ahhh — ahhh...
