Lyrics

Countdown

[Verse]

Countdown

D-Day

I don't want to be late

For countdown

Distress

I don't want to make a mess

[Chorus]

When it all falls away

Clothes start to fray

Buildings decay

Rabble remains

Where they were green

Sterility

Humanity

Staring at me

[Verse]

Countdown

D-Day

I don't want to be late

For countdown

De-stress

I don't want to make a mess

[Chorus]

When it all falls away

Clouds start to fray

Buildings decay

Rabble remain

Where they were green

Sterility

Humanity

Staring at me

[Chorus]

When it all falls away

Clouds start to fray

Buildings decay

Rabble remain

Where they were green

Sterility

Humanity

Staring at me
