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)

Style
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
