[Part I]
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
You were never truly loved
You have only been betrayed
You were never truly nurtured
By churches or the state
You were left unprotected
To these wild and fragile lands
But you can rise up like a god
Arm yourself, you can be strong
You can build a nuclear power
Transform the earth to your desire
Free your mind from false beliefs
You can be the commander in chief
You can hide your true motives
To dismantle and destroy
[Chorus]
Now you finally have the code
I have given you the code
[Part II]
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
(Five, four, three, two, one, fire)

[Part III]
[Verse 1]
There's no country left
To love and cherish
It's gone, it's gone for good
It's you and me, babe, survivors
To hunt and gather memories
Of the great nation we were
[Verse 2]
There's no countries left
To fight and conquer
I think I destroyed them all
It's human nature, the greatest hunter will
Survive alone with no one left to love
[Interlude]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
There's no culture left
To love and cherish
It's gone, you know it's gone for good
A trillion memories lost in space and time
Forevermore
I just wanted, I just needed to be loved
