[Verse 1] Crushing down the mountains in a freezing little shed Just to find the heavy dust that paints the darkness red A quiet pair of alchemists, stirring up the brew Extracting out the universe, a million miles of blue The journals are electric and the laboratory hums We bottled up eternity to see what it becomes! [Pre-Chorus] It’s ticking on the counter, it’s clicking in the bone We found the magic metal, now we’re never walking home It burns right through the pocket, it melts away the skin The fatal revolution is about to begin! [Chorus] Glow! In the dark! Like a billion burning suns! We split the invisible, look what we have done! We’re choking on the magic, we’re dancing with the ray We cured the whole damn planet while we wash ourselves away! (Wash ourselves away!) [Verse 2] Fingertips are blistering, the papers turning black Riding on a wavelength and there is no going back A heavy metal diet for the modern industry We gave the world a miracle, but kept the casualty Yeah, we engineered the future, we unlocked the highest above We handed you the cosmos but forgot to wear a glove! [Pre-Chorus] It’s ticking on the counter, it’s clicking in the bone We found the magic metal, now we’re never walking home It burns right through the pocket, it melts away the skin The fatal revolution is about to begin! [Chorus] Glow! In the dark! Like a billion burning suns! We split the invisible, look what we have done! We’re choking on the magic, we’re dancing with the ray We cured the whole damn planet while we wash ourselves away! [Bridge] (Dry, detached, spoken-word style) Atomic decay. A beautiful poison in a lead-lined tray. The medals are heavy. The atoms weigh us down. We are the brightest pair of shadows in the entire town. Half-life. Full death. Hold your breath. [Guitar Solo / Disco-Punk Bass Breakdown] [Chorus] Glow! In the dark! Like a billion burning suns! We split the invisible, look what we have done! We’re choking on the magic, we’re dancing with the ray We cured the whole damn planet while we wash ourselves away! [Outro] (Chanting to the beat) Radiant! Transcendent! Completely toast! We are the future! The glowing ghosts! (Geiger counter clicking sound fading out) Click. Click. Click. Stop.
