The Zero Hour

Verse 1

Concrete melting under the glare of a violet sky

Rory and Alastair looking for a why

Red thermometers popping in the heat

Seven billion pairs of tired feet

Broken wires

Burning pyres

Gridlock humming in the middle of a drought

Tell me is the timer really running out

Pre-Chorus

Black smoke rising from the tankers in the gulf

Man is the predator and man is the wolf

Cold winds blowing where the rubles used to flow

Now there is nowhere left to go

Chorus

Lights out in the canyon

Lights out in the city

Lights out for the people

Doomsday looks so pretty

We are waiting on the zero

We are begging for a hero

Lights out in the canyon

Lights out

Verse 2

Drill the North Sea until the seabed groans and cracks

Sucking out the marrow while we turn our backs

Jørgensen says green is the cheaper way to live

We have got nothing left to give

Check the tech

Fix the wreck

Data centers hungry for a digital bite

Keep the switches on through the middle of the night

Pre-Chorus

Black smoke rising from the tankers in the gulf

Man is the predator and man is the wolf

Cold winds blowing where the rubles used to flow

Now there is nowhere left to go

Chorus

Lights out in the canyon

Lights out in the city

Lights out for the people

Doomsday looks so pretty

We are waiting on the zero

We are begging for a hero

Lights out in the canyon

Lights out

Bridge

Security is fragile

Security is thin

Security is a gamble

Where nobody can win

One spark in Hormuz

One break in the line

Waiting on the moment

Waiting on the sign

Chorus

Lights out in the canyon

Lights out in the city

Lights out for the people

Doomsday looks so pretty

We are waiting on the zero

We are begging for a hero

Lights out in the canyon

Lights out
