- The Apocalypse Song Lyrics / with translationsWait
I'll be swifter
Than the speed of light
Carbon all my body
A billion years of time
You wake
With the stitches
Over both your eyes
And deny me, my body
And all earthly delights
It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
All of your praying
Amount to just one breath
Please keep your victory
But give me little death
It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
What everyone is made of
So take to the streets
With apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of
A lunatic's gaze
I'll be swifter
Than the speed of light
Carbon all my body
A billion years of time
You wake
With the stitches
Over both your eyes
And deny me, my body
And all earthly delights
It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
All of your praying
Amount to just one breath
Please keep your victory
But give me little death
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
What everyone is made of
So take to the streets
With apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of
A lunatic's gaze
