VERSE 1:
Bombs, falling like rain
death pours down pain
To friends of the slain.
Tanks, crush bones to dust
leave nothing left, no more to take
air Sirens wail,
bullets like hail,
Everyone run
Shock, right to the heart
no one thinks twice
in the wake of the storm.
CHORUS 1:
(Ground Zero!) transformed by nuclear radiation
(Casualty!) The lords of war, desolation
(Mourn the dead!) termination devastation
(There's no hope!) No Chance at all for mediation.
(None Survive!) posthumous horror, realization
(Only death!) half-life decay eternity
(Extinction!) Wide-spread human life cessation
(It's The end!) finality, the legacy
VERSE 2:
Mourn, the lifeless son
broad clouds of ash
charred bones of black
night, it will not end
reaper to blame, your world in flames
burnt, the peeling flesh
carnage beyond
what your mind can bare
son, father has lost
deprived of peace
Unsolaced by time
CHORUS 2:
(Ground Zero!) transformed by nuclear radiation
(Casualty!) The lords of war, desolation
(Mourn the dead!) termination devastation
(There's no hope!) No Chance at all for mediation.
(None Survive!) posthumous horror, realization
(Only death!) half-life decay eternity
(Extinction!) Wide-spread human life cessation
(It's The end!) finality, the legacy
Bridge: (4x)
(Be warnedÖ)
Death fills the air!
(BewareÖ)
Itís a Metal Storm!
VERSE 3:
Earth, hopeless and lost
the rotting dead
our holocaust
cold, this fate foretold
nuclear and froze
final chapter is closed.
Dust, fallout despair
poisonous air
breathe if you dare
terminal cancer
humanity dies,
beneath the
darkening skies.
CHORUS 3:
(Ground Zero!) transformed by nuclear radiation
(Casualty!) The lords of war, desolation
(Mourn the dead!) termination devastation
(There's no hope!) No Chance at all for mediation.
(None Survive!) posthumous horror, realization
(Only death!) half-life decay eternity
(Extinction!) Wide-spread human life cessation
(It's The end!) finality, the legacy
Spoken:
ONLY DEATH IS LEFT IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM.
IN THE NAME OF SURVIVAL WE MUST REFORM.
