[Verse 1]
Another bloody Monday
Thirty-nine Just died
All hell breaks loose in the crowd
A hopeless helter skelter
Another mindless crime
Some corner of the world is burning down

[Chorus 1]
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousand nights before

[Chorus 2]
The ship of fools
Keeps on rolling through a deadly storm
It won't take long until we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed

[Verse 2]
Corrupt politicians
Promise paradise
The thieves are reaching out for the crown
Violence is a killer
Threatens all our lives
Judgment day has come here and now

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2][x2]
