Lyrics

This isn't... good No, this is not at all Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday Everybody dies! Danger! Warning! Mayday! Abandon, evacuate, get out of here! (Oh no!) You lived like you did and you thought everything would be fine? Now you scamper and run, but you've already out of time It's rotting and deteriorating from the inside There's no way to stop it and clearly there's nowhere to hide! (Calculation of survival rate: zero percent) Doom, gloom, the world goes boom None will be spared, so don't assume Not ragged clothes, nor silvers spooned You're all the same when extinction looms No food supplies (No water supplies) No power supplies (Or other supplies) No compromise (Just say your goodbyes) And everybody dies! No explanation (Or clarification) No information (Or justification) Forget the whys (Just cover your eyes) And everybody dies! (Oh no!) It's not like your screaming Can somehow elongate your life You're best off to shut up And calm down and wait for it The world is black (There's no way back) You're way off the track (No plan of attack) So recognize (Your pending demise) And everybody dies! And in the end when all is silent The core is melting down A quantum supernova's blasting out (The ominous skies materialize and everybody dies!) (Oh no!) Now holding your breath Isn't going to bide you more time You're best off to lay down and curl up and wait for it The ultimate blast (Will be the last) And when it's passed (So terribly fast) It blinds your eyes (You're paralyzed) And everybody dies! The soil'll be red (Where people have bled) The cities all dead (The radiation will spread) It's no surprise (We swallowed the lies) And everybody dies! And in the end when all is silent The core is melting down A quantum supernova's blasting out (The ominous skies materialize and everybody dies!) (Don't give up!) We are still breathing (Don't give in!) That's what they want (Don't despair!) Just keep believing (Don't lose heart!) We'll blast our way out of here! Danger! Warning! Mayday! Abandon, evacuate! Follow me to a place beyond us Follow me to another world Time is short; the hour's upon us Follow me to the stars! (Oh yes!) Not ideal conditions, but stable enough, you could try The chances are slim, but perhaps you could make it alive? And in the end when all is silent The core is melting down A quantum supernova's blasting out And in the end beyond the violence No humans will be found Now a quantum supernova's blasted out! Then ominous skies materialize No compromise, just say your goodbyes It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies And everybody dies!
