lyrics

looking back to the past, predictions of the end, unseen ultra violet rays
are beating on my head, nuclear threat wanna bet will be our demise
the day will come when we'll look to apocalyptic skies
when the news had spread, that soon we'd all be dead
well i just blew our minds
no one could have guessed that our worst fears at best
figments of our time
so it seems that our dreams will never come to be
how could such a stupid thing destroy humanity?
a few weeks till extinction and there's nothing we can do
a message sent to other worlds will say, "it was just the flu"
there's no lesson to be learned, there's no one left to learn it
