Lyrics
My telescope looks out Into the stars tonight A little speck of light Seems twice the size tonight The calculations are so fine Can it be growing all the time?

Now I can't believe it's true And I don't know what to do For the hundredth time I check the declination

Now the fear starts to grow Even my computer shows There are no errors in the calculations

Now it's happened take no other view Collision course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do

When Two Worlds collide The anger and the pain Of all those who remain Two Worlds collide Who will be left alive No place to hide

When Two Worlds collide The anger, the pain Of those who remain When Two Worlds collide So who will survive There's no place to hide When two worlds collide

Now it's happened take no other view Collision course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do

When Two Worlds collide The anger, the pain Of all those who remain Two Worlds collide Who will be left alive No place to hide There's no place to hide When Two Worlds collide
