The clock is ticking

The seconds wind down

When zero arrives

Then everything falls apart

The innate link

Between the word and the deed

In cold trembling hands

That are too numb to feel

A lone survivor calls

In a thick black night

Is no one listening

Or is there no one left to answer

Time is running out

Chaos consumes us all

Slaves to our ignorance

And the war within us all

The message is clear

Yet easy to ignore

Consuming all resources

Before extinction devours us all

A simple code

A cry for help

The clock is ticking

The clock is ticking
