Nuclear warfare is presented here as man’s final plight, on a pessimistic tone it is implied that none shall recover and lay foundations for a further rebirth of mankind despite trying to survive in vain.
[Verse 1]
Turn around and shield your eyes
Don't look back as the earth dies
No tomorrow for eternity
The apocalyptic prophecy
[Verse 2]
Few shall survive the final war
Our futile lives shall be no more
[Verse 3]
Innocent victims of the nuclear glare
Are torn apart as they stand unaware
[Verse 4]
The whole world is radioactive
What's left of man now unproductive
None shall escape the fallout rain
Our future life shall be steeped in pain
[Verse 5]
Feel the chill of the nuclear winds
Our planet's downfall shall now begin
[Verse 6]
No excuses for the vast destruction
Caused by man with no comprehension
[Verse 7]
Life expectancy now decreases
As atomic warfare rapidly increases
Our foolish games, what have we learned?
No time for sorrow as the world burns
