3. The Final Lullaby (5:12)
[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
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!

Guns are going off, can't hear a sound
Toxic in the air, I can hear you pray

[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!
