12 minutes past midnight

[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] 12 minutes past midnight, the world stands still, Here comes the silence, we face a bitter pill. The sky alight with flames of our own design, A sorrowful farewell, the end of time. [Pre-Chorus] Forgive us, for we knew not what we wrought, In our pride, we forgot what we sought. Now shadows fall, and hope fades away, This is the final night, we have to pay. [Chorus] Oh, humanity, forgive our sins, As the night begins, the darkness wins. The clock has struck, no turning back, In the cold, we fade into the black. [EAS NUCLEAR3] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Across the lands, the sirens wail, A cry for mercy, but to no avail. The ashes fall, like tears from the sky, This is the final hour, we say goodbye. [Bridge] To the children left behind, we're sorry, For the future lost, and the endless worry. In the ruins of our dreams, you stand, A testament to the folly of man. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh, humanity, forgive our sins, As the night begins, the darkness wins. The clock has struck, no turning back, In the cold, we fade into the black. [Outro] [Instrumental Lament] [Outro and Fade to End] The silence of the night draws in, we disappear... 12 minutes past midnight... for most of us, the end is here. [end]
