Lyrics

There's tigers in the temple
They're sleeping on the throne
Of a civilization that's dead and gone
Guarding the secrets that were left behind
Just a bunch of clues for some fools to find
They never saw it coming
They never saw it leave
And they never learned the lessons
And nothing to believe
Nobody ever thought it would ever stop
They never heard the ticking from the doomsday clock
Now the forest is a-blazing
It casts a shroud around the sun
Homeless children just begging for a crumb
No one's losing sleep, they're having too much fun
Oblivious to oblivion
This world is gonna wake up and wake up soon
Shake off all of these fleas and sing a brand new tune
Everybody's acting like it ain't never gonna stop
But there's a wake-up call coming from the doomsday clock
You better listen for the ticking of the doomsday clock
Now the future is fading
And no one's taking the blame
We got our head in the clouds and our feet to the flame
Writing our ending while we're setting the stage
Before we blow out the candle and turn the page
You'd think we'd learn the lesson
And if we have to ask
And you want to know the future
Keep repeating the past
Keep doing what you're doing
Go on and let it rock
But pray to God he resets the doomsday clock
You better pray to God he resets the doomsday clock
There's a wake-up call coming from the doomsday clock
Doomsday, doomsday clock
Listen for the ticking of the doomsday clock
Doomsday clock, doomsday clock
One day it's gonna ring, ready or not
Doomsday clock, doomsday clock
Night night jammies on doomsday clock
Night night jammies on doomsday clock
We better listen for the ticking of the doomsday clock
There's a wake-up call coming from the doomsday clock
Pray to God he resets the doomsday clock
