The Doomsday Clock

The elders returned a man to a time
Before we fell
Something would have to be changed
Eliminate the maniacs who sent the world to Hell
To save us in the present day

One final throw
Call it cosmic intervention
The course of history
Will have to be changed
We must stop the doomsday clock
Before it's too late

Grimly optimistic
He returned to his own time
To find a planet in the grip of fear
No less apocalyptic
Than the world he'd left behind
Deliverance had failed to appear

One final throw
Call it human intervention
The course of history
Will have to be changed
We must stop the doomsday clock
Before it's too late

Time after time lord we've tried
To keep annihilation at bay
To engineer a way to survive
Now we stand on the brink of doomsday

Time is in the hand of the universe the
Hands of the clock point
To doomsday again

Time is in the hand of the universe the
Hands of the clock point
To doomsday again

One final throw
Call it cosmic intervention
The course of history
Will have to be changed
We must stop the doomsday clock
Before it's too late
