Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome to humanity, this is hour one
[Verse 2]
So here we are, it's hour one, and it's  nightmare
There's nothing left, and yet, it's good to be alive
There's no use crying 'cause the universe is not fair
The wicked and the innocent are fighting to survive
[Verse 3]
Child, stay down, stay down
You better run for cover underground
Child, stay down, stay down
You better shut your mouth, don't make a sound
[Verse 4]
Human nature is the reason for our downfall
And we deserve it, playing God with our machines
Our religions are a prison that's our fatal flaw
Bombs are flying while we're sleeping with the enemy
[Verse 5]
Child, stay down, stay down
You better run for cover underground
Child, stay down, stay down
You better shut your mouth, don't make a sound
[Verse 6]
Look at me, right at me when I'm telling you to stay down
Come to me , run to me, I am begging you to stay down
Cling to me desperately, all you gotta do is stay down
Pay attention to my child, down
[Verse 7]
Look at me, right at me when I'm telling you to stay down
Come to me, run to me, I am begging you to stay down
Cling to me desperately, all you gotta do is stay down
Pay attention to my child!
[Verse 8]
Child, stay down, stay down
You better run for cover underground
Child, stay down, stay down
You better shut your mouth, don't make a sound
[Verse 9]
Child, stay down, stay down
You better run for cover underground
Child, stay down, stay down
Stay down
