Mayday
Starmen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes the rain, here comes the flood
At the beginning of our extinction
Here comes the time when everything
We've got to do is to survive

When politicians rules the mission
there is nothing left but fear
Ask yourself what you do
when there's nothing left but fear
when people's dyi'n, children's cryin'
Will we ever be sincere
How do you dare the things you do?
How do you dare?

I'm calling out an mayday, yeah mayday
I'm sending out an S.O.S
For the ones who could save our race
I'm calling out an mayday, yeah mayday
I'm sending out an S.O.S
For the ones who could save our race

Here come the fires and the droughts
And the raise of mass salvation
Here comes the time we realize
This is real this is no fiction

When politicians rules the mission
there is nothing left but fear
Ask yourself what you do
when there's nothing left but fear
when people's dyi'n, children's cryin'
Will we ever be sincere
How do you dare the things you do?
How do you dare?

I'm calling out an mayday, yeah mayday
I'm sending out an S.O.S
For the ones who could save our race
I'm calling out an mayday, yeah mayday




I'm sending out an S.O.S
For the ones who could save our race
