Breaking news
State of emergency declared
The markets fell again
This is not a test
The air tastes like rust and regret
Another promise we never kept
I see the headlines bleed through the static
Truth turns tragic, hearts turn apathetic
We drew our lines in the sand and prayed
But the tide came in and washed faith away
Now every sunrise feels like a warning
Hope just another word for mourning
Time slips through the cracks in our hands
We built this world on sinking sand
It's zero hour and we're wide awake
Watching everything we made start to break
No heroes left, no saints to save
Just echoes calling from shallow graves
It's zero hour no turning back
We lit the fuse, now we face the blast
And if the world burns down tonight
At least we'll know we were alive
Another leader with a trembling voice
Selling comfort dressed as choice
Every prayer sounds like a question Mark
Every light fades into the dark
We keep waiting for the storm to pass
But the calm's long gone this is the last
If redemption's real, it's running late
And the clock keeps whispering too late, too late
The smoke won't clear it never does
We choke on fear and call it love
Every promise turned to pain
We built our shelter out of flames
(Out of flames out of flames)
It's zero hour and we're wide awake
Watching everything we made start to break
No heroes left, no saints to save
Just echoes calling from shallow graves
It's zero hour no turning back
We lit the fuse, now we face the blast
And if the world burns down tonight
At least we'll know
We were alive
