lyrics

I hear rumors from the street
the stampede of the feet
running

Women leaving their kids behind
Men being slain trying to hide
crying for mercy but they cry in vain

People praying by a candle
burning their dead on a bundle
weeping

Others setting their heart at peace
getting ready for the Apocalypse
dying like the ancients used to die in Greece


The end of the world is near
People are just too busy to hear
its agony
But me I have time for this
listening to the burning cities' hiss


Whatever the final outrage
the coming of a new ice age
Mankind swept out by some kind of rage

It will be a beautiful picture
like in a motion picture
all that was born from a phrase now gone to the sound of a turning page

Two Thousand Twelve or Sixteen
the Eiffel Tower fell
and so is the Sixtine Chapel

nothing is left but me watching
the end of the world on a screen
a beautiful and terrible scene

'Cause the end of the world is here
People are just too busy to hear
its agony
But me I have time for this
listening to the burning cities' hiss


And whatever may come in
a monstrous creature with a fin,
and a sinister grin

scampering flesh-eating bugs
crawling out from under the rugs...
zombies acting like thugs

a shapeshifting thing from Antarctic
little fellows hidden in the attic
All kinds of freaks and lunatics

a giant slug cutting its groove
a beastly bull stomping its hooves
I'm just not willing to move my feet

What the new world will be like ?
will it be empty and dark
will it be an empty Ark
drifting over the marsh ?

will it be one of anarchy
or one of complete comedy
or one of pure geometry
dots, circles and triangles ?

will it be a fashion nightmare
ran by people with dyed hair
wearing padded-shoulders jackets
that'd have taken over the planet ?

Will it be a new Eden
with men and women created
from former presidents semen
a simian planet of the apes ?

The end of the world is here
People were too busy to hear
its agony
Me I have time for this
listening to the burning cities' hiss
