The Last Cold War

[Intro] (Urgent bassline, radio static sounds, atmospheric guitar) ​[Verse 1] Static on the radio, snow on the screen The ghost of a border that sits in between A wall made of glass and a wall made of fear The end of the world is drawing so near I’m tracing the wires back to the source The moon is a pale and a pitiless force. ​[Chorus] It’s the last cold war, and the sun is going down On the empty streets of this ghost-ridden town We’re fighting for shadows, we’re dying for ghosts In the ruins of the things that we valued the most The last cold war... Don't let the fire go out. ​[Verse 2] An agent in place, a sleeper awake How much of the pressure can one spirit take? The codes are all useless, the ciphers are dead Just the ringing of iron inside of my head From Berlin to Beijing, the mercury climbs In these cynical, dark, and desperate times. ​[Bridge] (Vocal echoes, soaring melody) Is there anyone left? Is there anyone out there? Or is it just us... in the dark? ​[Chorus] It’s the last cold war, and the sun is going down On the empty streets of this ghost-ridden town. ​[Outro] The last cold war. Freeze the frame. (Fading electronic beat)
