Music: Nathan Sadd, Chris Williams
Lyrics: Chris Martin
Why did we run past the point of no return?
Natural order or selection?
A deepest desire to see it all burn
Or an innocent fall into regression?
War, envy, divinity, and greed
Leaders of the world, providing us with what we need
Sign me up for the end of mankind
Because this rock's done and we're out of time
Too late, too late, we meet our fate
This creeping cancer violates
It's time to go, time to die
Will the last one out turn off the lights
Too late, too late, to retaliate
Flog a dead horse, serve it up as main course
It's time to go, no time to fight
Will the last one out turn off the lights
What made us fall? Sentient no more
Rainforests smoulder into desert
As the flames flicker higher, turn a blind eye
As everything crumbles back into the dirt
Loss and sickness, poor and witless
Can't trust those who prescribe a quick fix
Shifting sands down a steep decline
The grain fell at the end of the line
Too late, too late, we meet our fate
This creeping cancer violates
It's time to go, time to die
Will the last one out turn off the lights
Too late, too late, to retaliate
Flog a dead horse, serve it up as main course
It's time to go, no time to fight
Will the last one out turn off the lights
Solo: Sadd
We chose the right hand path
Stripped rights and life for cash
Lifeless oceans purged by waste
Cities burned by acid rain
Self-inflicted, twisted death
Catastrophic end
The golden age has faded now
Darkness now descends
Solo: Sadd
"Boast and bravado all around
Up on your podium, tall and proud
Lead the people, your words resound
Then lead us all towards the mushroom cloud!"
Will we heed the warning signs
Or is it time to let it die?
Too late, too late, we meet our fate
This creeping cancer violates
It's time to go, time to die
Will the last one out turn off the lights
Too late, too late, to retaliate
Flog a dead horse, serve it up as main course
It's time to go, it's time to die!
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
