Nuclear Bubble Wrap - Sunrise Movement lyrics

This revelation: sunbeams can kill
And no one fears that the
Reaper's at the shore
You never know the ocean flow or flames below
Until the end’s in view now we all can see
The boiling point of the Red Sea
Just as creation, death is the will
Here comes the sun, bringing fires to the war
But we don’t know, oh yes we know
No we don’t know and now we're overdue
Escaping isn’t free
And it costs more than sunscreen

What did we see? Could we have tried?
Was the year this would happen identified?
Burning ambitions, the dreams left to die
Look up, feel the heat in your eyes
Countdown to death at sunrise

Time for extinction, dead on your hill
Standing proud, watch your kids play dinosaur
And so it goes, the book is closed
We decompose the problem’s crashing through
Who is most thirsty?
To be drowned in the Dead Sea
Asphyxiation, smoke from the grill
The coal, it fumes
And there’s not an open door
And so it goes, the lava flows
It’s what we chose for sake of revenue
Raise the current sea
When we’re dead, where’s the money?

What did we see? Could we have tried?
Was the year this would happen identified?
Burning ambitions, the dreams left to die
You’ve proven you’re old but not wise
Countdown to death at sunrise
