Tick, tock,

Tick, tock,

The Doomsday Clock

Moves again.

Tick, tock, 

Tick, tock,

It's hands are moving,

Closer to the end.

Tick, tock,

Tick, tock,

Missles launch,

And begin their flight.

Tick, tock,

Tick,

Whole cities,

Enveloped in light.

Click, click 

Minutes go by

It's all over

In the blink 

Of an eye.

The clock has stopped.

An eerie silence takes hold,

The last bomb has dropped.

And the world turns cold.

I close my eyes

And take a breath,

And choke on the dust,

There is nothing left.

Instinct kicks in,

The will to survive.

And I am grateful 

To still be alive.
