The Final Hourglass

Chorus

Watch out for the cooling towers

Fading in the cooling towers

Burning through the final hours

Gone with the cooling towers

Verse 1

Split the atom

Crack the sky open wide

No place left for a man to hide

Yellow barrels stacking in a desert shed

Pre-Chorus

It is the end of the line

It is the end of the day

It is the end of the vine

Chorus

Watch out for the cooling towers

Fading in the cooling towers

Burning through the final hours

Gone with the cooling towers

Post-Chorus

Going down

Going down

Going down

Verse 2

Radium leaking slow

Poison water follows where the rivers flow

Metal sickness deep inside the marrow bone

The tally of our errors carved in heavy stone

Pre-Chorus

It is the end of the line

It is the end of the day

It is the end of the vine

Chorus

Watch out for the cooling towers

Fading in the cooling towers

Burning through the final hours

Gone with the cooling towers

Post-Chorus

Going down

Going down

Going down

Bridge

Fire in the cloud

Ash for a shroud

Nothing stays proud

Total silence coming for the crowd

Chorus

Watch out for the cooling towers

Fading in the cooling towers

Burning through the final hours

Gone with the cooling

Outro

One last spark

Before the dark

The countdown begins

For all of our sins

The switch is thrown

The seeds are sown

Empty chairs

Unanswered prayers

Towers falling

Final calling

Farewell friend

This is the end

Goodbye to the sun

We are done

Going down

Going down

Going down

Final bow

Going now

(Down, down, down)

Done
