The Sun rose over a new world The nuclear catastrophe is now in sight The words that once were written Few will know how to read them right Pure air is just a memory Did clean water ever exist? Tired eyes of humble people Worn-out faces, hearts dismissed Living past forty is impossible Life seems to fade away Doomed to a fate so horrible By the acts they chose to play Insanity and deep depression Humanity is torn apart For those who challenged death’s obsession Were caught within its binding heart Anxiety and endless strife Dead phrases left to say All beliefs lost in this life Many died with none to pray Burning skin, bleeding wounds Time itself begins to stall The final lament of countless souls Who slept without waking at all One day is freezing, the next is heat Extremes arrive to punish and scar Man suffered defeat Without learning how to love, by far The nightmare is bitter and real The pain strikes deep inside Like a sharpened fatal steel That lays the corpse down, dignified The funeral ceremony brings The rest that was deserved For the one who reached the end Never truly lived, nor served Thirst spreads from land to land A torment harsh and dry No more tears left to stand Even weeping has run dry Hunger kills day by day Wipes out nations in its path All civilizations waste away From famine’s ruthless wrath What was once the Sun turns dark What was joy becomes despair A wall rises in the world’s heart Splitting peace from rebel's lair Prayers have long been forgotten Those who prayed have also died A tale so sad and downtrodden With a hostile end implied Many are succumbing still To the fury of this genocide Life is being forced to kneel By its own hand – a suicide Some countries seek control Turn the world into a show So they’ll brainwash every soul Through the script that screens bestow So they’ll wet their hands with greed With numbers and with notes So they’ll buy the silence they need At the aim of their loaded throats
