Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Red sky Sirens in my veins Cold wind Whispers all our names [Verse 1] Television static in the living room glow Dad says "Kid You don't wanna know" Maps on the wall with the targets in red We laugh too loud just to drown out the dread [Chorus] This is the countdown to extinction Tick-tick heart on a dead-end mission One more prayer One last conviction We’re screaming through the fallout fiction Countdown to extinction Can you hear the seconds bleed? Countdown to extinction How much more do we all need? [Verse 2] Teachers draw clouds shaped like mushroom scars We pass notes Dream of guitars Spray-painted peace on a concrete wall While kings play chess with us all [Chorus] This is the countdown to extinction Tick-tick heart on a dead-end mission One more prayer One last conviction We’re screaming through the fallout fiction Countdown to extinction Can you hear the seconds bleed? Countdown to extinction How much more do we all need? [Bridge] [Half-time riff Drums pounding] We were born on borrowed time (hey!) Dancing on a fault line Raise your voice Refuse the end Turn this final flash again [Chorus] This is the countdown to extinction Tick-tick heart on a dead-end mission One more prayer One last conviction We’re screaming through the fallout fiction Countdown to extinction Hear the children curse the sky Countdown to extinction We choose to live We refuse to die (woah)

rock, Big 80s thrash ballad: clean arpeggiated intro that erupts into twin-guitar riffing, galloping bass, and double-kick bursts. Male vocals start haunting and melodic, then climb into gritty high-register screams on the chorus. Wide, delayed lead guitar lines, gang-shouted backing vocals on hooks, and a shreddy, harmonized solo in the bridge. Dramatic stops and halftime hits amplify the “countdown” tension., ballad, metal, thrash metal, speed metal, hard rock
