I'm an old man who hates what he sees right now. I wrote this in response to the constant "War Clock" and "WW3" articles that we are being bombarded (pardon the pun) with.

5 Seconds to Doom

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tension
At an all-time high
Reason
Was left far behind
Egos
Cannot co-exist
In a world gone mad run by masochists

[Bridge]
Can anyone tell me why
An old man gets to decide
If our young, live or die

[Chorus]
It's time (past time!)
For us to stand and resist
The old reign has brought us to the abyss
We have the power
This is our hour
If you don't stand for something
You'll fall for anything

World Clock

5 seconds to Doom

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Visions
Of a world on fire
Decisions
Made with irrational desire
Egos
Cannot co-exist
In a world gone mad run by masochists

[Bridge]
Can anyone tell me why
An old man gets to decide
If our young, live or die

[Chorus]
It's time (past time!)
For us to stand and resist
The old reign has brought us to the abyss
We have the power
This is our hour
If you don't stand for something
You'll fall for anything

World Clock

5 seconds to Doom

DON'T FALL FOR THEIR INSANITY!!
STAND!!!
FOR HUMANITY!!

[Break]

[Bridge]
Can anyone tell me why
An old man gets to decide
If our young, live or die

[Chorus]
It's time (past time!)
For us to stand and resist
The old reign has brought us to the abyss
We have the power
This is our hour
If you don't stand for something
You'll fall for anything

World Clock

5 seconds to Doom

[Instrumental]

[Spoken]
We're in this together
Sisters and Brothers
Fathers and Mothers
No Borders
A New World Order

Peace . . .
