Countdown

*co-written with Jake Fitzlaff



Out on the stage with a smile on his face

this bastard thinks he speaks for the human race

He don't know what he's saying, it don't matter to me

just another motherfucker toying with humanity

Word by word, day by day

he's costing lives with everything he says

his end is near and this guy knows

he's going out with a blast to end the show



Open your mind, come closer and hear

the worst thing to happen in years

The countdown for us is already set

Close your eyes, it's time to forget



Don't look back

Don't hold on

Everything ends with the sound of a bomb

The towers fall

The lights go out

This is our countdown



His end is here but where has he gone?

We're left to fix everything he's done wrong

Stop killing for gods and conquering for flags

Bring them home before they're in a body bag

Stop intruding on rights and oppressing the world

Learn a lesson or two from the times of old

Give peace a chance and the earth some hope

This is all we've got left, so go for broke
