Lyrics:

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers."
The napalm screams of human flames
For a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight... all night!

  • 2 minutes to midnight for 6 minutes?

    YOUR ARGUEMENT IS INVALID.

  • My living room was really bright when I came home from school and I looked at the like bar and thought it was all red. I seriously almost had a heart attack. It would be a good way to go though: Death by Maiden.

  • @ZheUberSpeck

    2 MINUTES WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH MAIDEN

  • @Ozzmaster2112 EXCEPT IT'S 6 MINUTES.

    WHY.

  • LISTENING TO THIS SONG AT 11:58;

    AWW, YEAH.

  • @BassGuitarGuy128 Read 2nd Peter. It describes nuclear war . Long written down.

  • @BassGuitarGuy128 You are correct, sir.

  • @realwarpetsbro It's not about actual time. The song is about the Doomsday clock. Two minutes to midnight was the closest it ever got. Right now it's at five minutes to midnight.

    Midnight means all out nuclear war, and possibly doomsday.

  • @realwarpetsbro Y U NO UNDERSTAND!!!!!

  • @realwarpetsbro I guess its 12:04 then...

  • @kh1129 You obviously don't have it turned up loud enough.
