In the cities there is talk of rain and fire,
It was on the air today, it almost filled me with desire …
All our skies are grey, they say the dreamers line the streets,
Looking out from hollow houses, rivers running at their feet …
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there’s Panic in the World …
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there’s Panic in the World …
My love and I, we escaped, we left no trace
For they had raped both body and soul …
The taste was much too hard to swallow,
We ran naked through the cold …
Above our heads, in fiery red,
The clouds, they bled like open wounds across the sky …
The wings of many nations, falling, burning, turning,
Trying oh, so hard to die …
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there’s Panic in the World …
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there’s Panic in the World …
We’ll find an island, we’ll burn the maps,
We’ll lock our hearts and throw the keys into the sea,
let’s be survivors, they’ll never find us,
It’s all behind us, I know a place they’ve never been …
In new horizon, in golden swarms, in comes tomorrow,
It’s thunder storms over the hill …
The future falls, beyond these walls,
Destiny calling, like the dawn a sweeter thrill …
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there’s Panic in the World …
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there’s Panic in the World …
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there’s Panic in the World …
