Colony Collapse Lyrics

Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in.
We brought the battle, we saw the signs,
We've found ourselves two steps behind.

I'm counting days like they're running out.
There's ghosts in the water, so pray for drought.
(pray for drought)

This time there's nowhere to hide.
We're facing the firing squad side by side.
1986. This is full relapse.
Our latest apocalypse.
This is Colony Collapse.

Give us the rope and we'll tie our own noose.
We truly believed all we touched turned to gold.
We were warned but we wouldn't be told.

I'm counting days like they're running out.
There's ghosts in the water, so pray for drought.

This time there's nowhere to hide.
We're facing the firing squad side by side.
They said the ocean's on fire.
Say it isn't true.
Say it isn't true.
The truth never hurt so much.
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?

1986. This is full relapse.
Our latest apocalypse. This is colony collapse.
Colony collapse.

Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in.
Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in.

They said the ocean's on fire.
Say it isn't true.
Say it isn't true.
The truth never hurt so much.
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?

This time there's nowhere to hide.
We're facing the firing squad side by side.
They said the ocean's on fire.
Say it isn't true.
Say it isn't true.
The truth never hurt so much.
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?

1986. This is full relapse.
Our latest apocalypse.
This is colony collapse.

Colony Collapse

This song is about The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, which caused a series of ongoing equipment failures, reactor meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials following the TŠhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Guitarist Tom Searle told HMV.com : "Two reactors have gone down, there's one remaining, if that goes then it'll be complete disaster for Japan. It's a tragedy that doesn't seem to have made it anywhere near the media."

Vocalist Sam Carter commented: "We worked on it for a long time, we knew we had to get it really right or not do it at all. We worked particularly hard on this one."
