lyrics

Military power out of control
Diplomatic lust consuming the world

Hidden agendas behind closed doors
Illegal profiteering funding the wars
Greed outweighs good intentions
All the bad we do not mention
Surly we will kill us all
Mankind will be earth’s downfall
In the arms race, we all come in last
Mutual destruction is coming fast

Burn, Die, Burn, Suffer

In the end, we all burn
Nothing remains but ash
We are our own undoing
When we’re bathed in nuclear fire

Stockpiled weapons soon to ignite
Annihilate all life in sight

Nations fight for total control
And let their people pay the toll
Weapons trained at the sky
Rising tensions, the end is nigh
Atomic weapons detonated
All life eradicated
All we loved is swept away
This is the price we pay

Nuclear fire falls from the sky
Countdown to death, the day that we die

What have we done
