  • This song refers to the current setting (as of November 2022) of the Doomsday Clock. It was created by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1947 to serve as a metaphor to indicate how close humanity is to destroying itself with its own cleverness. We have never been this close to midnight.

Words and music by Wendy Renee Emerson

What’s a billion three or four
years that came before
you and me
and everything
that we can see?

Eternity.

Eternity to weave the magic beauty that is life.
From a star filled sky
came the love in your eyes.
It all goes to hell
when the clock strikes twelve.

One hundred seconds to midnight.
One hundred seconds til
the rockets fly
and the birds all die
and the world falls in to a dark and lifeless silence.

Instrumental

One hundred seconds to midnight.
One hundred seconds til
the rockets fly
and the birds all die
and the world falls in to a dark and lifeless silence.
