Five Minutes To Midnight lyrics

Break or be broken
A sensitive target
A thirty day boy in
A twenty day city

Nothing is easy
You know their methods
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just for a moment
That beats creation
Waiting for the flash to come

A large map of nowhere
A statue of paper
Nothing can stop them
They`re all white and spiteful

It`s not important
Use any language
Before it gets too late
Call for a doctor

For hours and hours
They built us a tower
You know how men are
We fell to the power
Stay with the money
`Til five to midnight`s past

Twenty years later
There`s someone to see you
Your prayers are answered
He`s saying something

Do you know something?
I don`t remember
Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact

This happy solution
Wouldn`t it rock you?
The choice of a weapon
The first and the last sword
Waiting for the flash to come

It`s not important
Use any language
Before it gets too late
Call for a doctor
Waiting for the heat to come

You know how men are
How men are, how men are

Do you know something?
I don`t remember
Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact
