[Verse 1]

T-minus ten seconds and counting

Ten seconds and counting

T-minus ten seconds and counting

Ten seconds to go

T-minus ten seconds and counting


[Pre-Chorus]

Metronome charisma

Keeping time in slingshot tempo


[Chorus]

Utopia, the landfill crawls

Omens that back the truth

Erase the veins of this dateline

As it tells the story

Of this Roman fracture space time cliché


[Verse 2]

I can't believe the feeble recipe

Civilization tastes so good

Nero has conquered the stars

No one ever saw the spacesuit togas

A wreath around the head like Saturn's rings


[Bridge]

Stole your recipe

The ghost ship cemetery

We won't lie


[Verse 1]

T-minus ten seconds and counting

Ten seconds to go

T-minus


[Chorus]

Utopia, the landfill crawls

Omens that back the truth

Erase the veins of this dateline

As it tells the story

Of this Roman fracture space time cliché


[Verse 3]

I can't believe, et tu, Brute? Unfolding

Under the breath, under the fall Caligula time warp

Decadence in fleets come rain storming

Under threats of gluttony and lies


[Bridge]

Stole your recipe

The ghost ship cemetery

We won't lie
