DEAD HAND

[Verse 1]
A siren sings into a studio microphone
And just like bugs
The people retreat under the dusty floorboards
Oh, I can't take it anymore
The grave is all too lonely
Without your sickly body by my side
Say, is this how the word ends?
With your distorted voice
Still ringing from every corner
What a shame, you may call it senseless
But I am now devoid of what I would call
"The hindrance of love"

Greetings from the underworld

[Chorus]
Oh, this is overwhelming
Time for the iron curtain call
The panic is seeping through the fractured border wall
My livid heart powers this reactor core
"Oh, this is all wrong!"
But I don't mind at all
Turn up the volume
Execute the protocol
You know it's M.A.D
And it's all about to blow
What an unfortunate way to end this show
I shed a tear as you vanish in the snow

[Verse 2]
A message written in uranium
On the rocket fuselage
Hey, say, could it be?
My mind is playing tricks on me
A vision of you fades away like a mirage
Oh, it's a beautiful catastrophe

[Bridge]
Say, the world ends in silence
With my distorted image
Smiling at every corner
Can you see it on the horizon?
A narrow string of white light
Splitting in half the melancholy sky

[Chorus]
Oh, this is overwhelming
Time for the iron curtain call
The panic is seeping through the fractured border wall
My livid heart powers this reactor core
"Oh, this is all wrong!"
But I don't mind at all
Turn up the volume
Execute the protocol
You know it's M.A.D
And it's all about to blow
What an unfortunate way to end this show
I shed a tear as you vanish in the snow
