Blow the universe into nothingness.Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest. (to Chorus)

Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast.Armageddon is here, like said in the past. (to Chorus)

Soon to fill our lungs, the hot winds of death.The Gods are laughing, so take your last breath. (to Chorus)

Additional lyrics

2. Wait for the signTo flick the switch of death.It»s the beginning of the end.Sweat, chilling cold,As I watch death unfold.Consciousness my only friend.My fingers grip with fear.What am I doing here?

3. Time moving slow.The minutes seem like hours.The final curtain call I see.How true is this?Just get it over with.If this is true, just let it be.Wakened by horrid scream.Freed from this frightening dream. (to Chorus)

Additional lyrics

2. 3.Crystallized as I lay here and rest.Eyes of glass stare directly at death.From deep sleep I have broken away.

No one knows, no one hears what I say. (to Chorus)

No release from my cryonic state.What is this? I’ve been stricken by fate.Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can’t break free.

Hand of doom has a tight grip on me. (to Chorus)
