Calculate The Apocalypse Lyrics

Awaiting a cosmic collision
The igniting of the visible world
Unpredictable asteroid impact
Monumental blastwave unleashed

Imminent undoing of this world
Unveils tragedy mixed with relief
As we give in to the end

Awaiting the atmospheric entry
Calculate the crater formation
The massive fireball expansion
Lost to thermal radiation

Imminent undoing of this world
Unveils tragedy mixed with relief
As we give in to the end

Estimate time of impact
Calculate the fatal fact
Estimate the cataclysm
Calculate the apocalypse

Technology
Facing defeat
An industry tainted with deceit
Activity
Done secretly
Chosen survivors find security

Imminent undoing of this world
Unveils tragedy mixed with relief
As we give in to the end

Estimate time of impact
Calculate the fatal fact
Estimate the cataclysm
Calculate the apocalypse

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is similar to 2012 in meaning. It describes the idea of apocalyptical events and the end of mankind! I like the line "tragedy mixed with relief." As if it would somehow bring peace to the world.

I think this is more than literally an asteroid impact. Especially considering the previous songs in the album, it must be about the way humans destroy Earth by not using green energy because of the way the global industry works (tainted with deceit) or because of a nuclear war. We know what we're doing, yet we can't stop - "we give in to the end". Again and again we have concluded how detrimental our effect is on the environment, hence the name of the song.

One part that is noteworthy but possibly overlooked is "chosen survivors find security" - I remember there was a facility build especially in case of a worldwide disaster (nuclear war to be precise) to provide shelter for a select few.
