Track 12 – „Monster in the Mirror“

[Intro – Emergency siren / heartbeat] [Radio Voice, distorted] This is not a test. [Female] Good. [Drums explode] [Verse 1] There's fire crawling up the skyline Red reflected in your eyes Everybody's running somewhere Like there's somewhere left to hide Phones are screaming Windows shaking Someone's praying in the street You look at me I look at you And suddenly I'm not afraid [Pre-Chorus] We spent our whole lives waiting For someday to begin Now there is no tomorrow So pull me in [Chorus] KISS ME BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS! LIKE WE'LL NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE! HOLD ME WHILE THE SKY COMES DOWN! WE'LL MAKE HEAVEN JEALOUS ON THE WAY OUT! IF THIS IS THE LAST NIGHT LET IT FIND US LIKE THIS! NO FEAR! NO REGRETS! JUST YOUR HAND ON MY HEART AND YOUR NAME ON MY LIPS! KISS ME! KISS ME! BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS! [Verse 2] The power died at 10:03 So we lit candles in the hall Opened up the expensive wine We were saving for something important Funny now We danced barefoot in the kitchen While the city lost its mind You wore my shirt I wore your jacket Like we still had all the time [Pre-Chorus] No bucket lists No final prayers No desperate messages to send Everything I wanted Is standing right here At the end [Chorus] KISS ME BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS! LIKE WE'LL NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE! HOLD ME WHILE THE SKY COMES DOWN! WE'LL MAKE HEAVEN JEALOUS ON THE WAY OUT! IF THIS IS THE LAST NIGHT LET IT FIND US LIKE THIS! NO FEAR! NO REGRETS! JUST YOUR HAND ON MY HEART AND YOUR NAME ON MY LIPS! KISS ME! KISS ME! BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS! [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh! Let it burn! Oh-oh-oh! It's our turn! [Instrumental – driving guitars / orchestra] [Bridge – Music drops] [Female] Do you remember all the things we said we'd do someday? Paris. The ocean. That stupid little house with the green front door. [Male, softly] I'm sorry. [Female] Don't be. [Pause] I got you. [Heartbeat] That was enough. [Massive build] [Female] Come here. [Final Chorus – Full Orchestra + Choir] KISS ME BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS! LET THE STARS FALL DOWN AROUND OUR HEADS! HOLD ME WHILE THE OCEANS RISE! I WANT YOUR FACE TO BE MY FINAL SIGHT! IF THIS IS THE LAST SONG THEN SCREAM IT WITH ME! WE LIVED! WE LOVED! WE WERE HERE! AND FOR ONE PERFECT MOMENT WE HAD NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR! KISS ME! KISS ME! BEFORE THE WORLD— [Everything cuts] [Female, whisper] Wait. [Silence] [Birdsong] [Male] We're still here. [Female laughs softly] [Female] Then kiss me again. [Final hit]
