One man had the power
Gifted with the sight
To see into the future
Visions in the night
It was all too much
He could see it coming down
Dreams of a destruction
Wasteland all around
Down, down, down
I see it all around
Burnin' up
Burnin' up, in my head
Burnin' up
The skies are burnin'
Burnin' up
Should we heed the warning
A message through the time
Of destination zero in 1999
Down, down, down
I see it all around
Burnin' up
Burnin' up, in my head
Burnin' up
The skies are burnin'
Burnin' up
Burnin' up, lights on red
Burnin' up
The skies are burnin'
Burnin' up
Is this the world we live in?
We can't afford to give in
It's not too late (too late)
Too late to turn it round
Is this panic over nothing?
The blind leading the blind
Could he really see the future
The doubt is in our minds
Down, down, down
I see it all around
Burnin' up
Burnin' up
Burnin' up
The skies are burnin'
Burnin' up, in my head
Burnin' up, lights on red
Burnin' up, in my head
The skies are burnin'
Burnin' up, in my head
Burnin' up, lights on red
Burnin' up, in my head
The skies are burnin'
The skies are burnin'
Burnin' up
