  • Flew off early in the haze of dawn
    In a metal dragon locked in time
    Skimming waves of an underground sea
    In some kind of a dream world fantasy

    Sun a hot circle on a canopy
    '25 a racing blot on a bright green sea
    Ahead the dim blur of an alien land
    Time to give ourselves to strange gods' hands

    Dark flak spiders bursting in the sky
    Reaching twisted claws on every side
    No place to run
    No place to hide
    No turning back on a suicide ride

    Toy city streets crawling through my sights
    Sprouting clumps of mushrooms like a world surreal
    This dream won't ever seem to end
    And time seems like it'll never begin
    Thirty seconds
    And a one way ride
    Thirty seconds
    And no place to hide
    Thirty seconds over Tokyo Writer/s: LAUGHNER, O'CONNOR, THOMAS
