1
(Ten, nine)
(Eight, seven, six, five)
(Four, three, two, one)
We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
We're headin' for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
Oh
The final countdown, oh
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
We're leavin' together
(The final countdown)
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
Yeah
(Eight, seven, six, five)
(Four, three, two, one)
We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
We're headin' for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
Oh
The final countdown, oh
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
We're leavin' together
(The final countdown)
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
Yeah

Well, our sun has a life span of ten billion years and it is already middle aged. So, five billion years from now the Earth's star will be no more. Humans will have to leave Earth and go "light years" away, if they want to survive as a species. ("I guess there is no one to blame.")
Hopefully, humans will find another suitable planet in another solar system much sooner than 4,999,999,999 years from now. "Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all." And humans will emigrate away from Earth by choice or necessity. There will be a "Final Countdown" for many people who want to move the new place or just check-out which planet is better ("and maybe we'll come back to Earth, who can tell?").
Right on! This is some serious old skool hair metal! :)
you seriously think humans will be around in even one billion years? i see..
