[Intro: Jørgen Munkeby]
Everything dies!

[Verse 1: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who will be the one to destroy us all
Mirror, mirror, can't you see?
It's written in the stars that it's you and me!

[Pre-Chorus: Jørgen Munkeby]
They're gonna burn this world down to the ground
Guns are going off, can't hear a sound
Toxic in the air, I can hear you pray
Will you stay with me? Can you hear what I say?

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
You said "let's live forever now"
But that was yesterday
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby

[Post-Chorus: Jørgen Munkeby]
It is time!
Don't you cry!
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye!
As the darkness comes down!
The world ends and everything dies!

[Verse 2: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Do you think we can survive this all?
Mirror, mirror, can you hear?
They're coming for us, it is what we feared!

[Pre-Chorus: Jørgen Munkeby]
They're gonna tear this night up at the seams
Lies are all around, nothing's what it seems
Tear gas in the sky. I can't breathe!
Will I see you again? Will you remember me?

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
You said "let's live forever now"
But that was yesterday
Now blood flows and fills the sky
The stars begin to fade
I hear you say, "it's over now"
There's no time to cry
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby

[Post-Chorus: Jørgen Munkeby]
It is time!
Don't you cry!
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye!
As the darkness comes down!
The world ends and everything dies!

[Bridge: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aahh-ah-ah-aaah
You and I will find a way out here tonight!
Ouh!

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude: Jørgen Munkeby]
So here we are, hand in hand
(Everything dies!)
Watching the world end
(Everything dies!)
The rain is pounding down on us, from a broken sky
(Everything dies!)
But we will live somehow

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
I hear you say, "it's over now"
There's no time to cry
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby
Bye!

[Outro]
It is time. Have no fear. It's the end. It is here
Say your prayers. Wave goodbye – as it ends
And everything dies
