Q&A

Welcome, Apocalypse Lyrics

Ghost town
Not a soul in sight
Empty
Streets and darkened lights
Hello from Doom
Welcome, Apocalypse

Contact
Only in a dream
Faces
On a tiny screen
We'll see you soon
Welcome, Apocalypse

Welcome, Apocalypse
What's taken you so long?
Bring us the fitting end
That we've been counting on
Welcome, Apocalypse
We've been expecting you
We brought this on ourselves
Now kindly follow through

Buildings
Boarded up in line
Vestige
Of a normal time
Those days are gone
Welcome, Apocalypse

Food lines
Stretch around the block
Shelves bare
Empathy out of stock
Try to hang on
Welcome, Apocalypse

Unrest
Ignorance distilled
Nihilistic
imbeciles
Its what we've earned
Welcome, Apocalypse

Return
Workers to your hive
Even
If it takes your lives
Nothing was learned
Welcome, 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.

it's pretty obvious and quite on point but here goes.

verse 1, 2, and 3 are obviously the time of 2020-2021, in Tom's style, he casts a light on more than just one meaning in his songs... as in madman's dream, bringing the guilty out on parade.
