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
