© Copyright by RockYourMusic [Instrumental Guitar Intro] [Verse 1] Cold War tensions, on a razor's edge we stand Politicians playing God, with weapons in their hand Mushroom cloud visions, haunt the sleepless night One wrong move, one trigger pulled, and everything takes flight Revving engines, missiles primed, countdown starts to tick Generals screaming, fingers twitch, for Armageddon's trick [Pre-Chorus] Nuclear assault, steel birds pierce the night Shockwaves shatter, blinding light, the world explodes in fright [Chorus] Is this the future... A barren tombstone... Of ignorance and power, a hunger to control The are no future... hate and greed... No escape from the beneath a blackened sky [Instrumental Guitar Break] [Instrumental Guitar Riff] [Verse 2] Mutated shadows, crawl from the rubble's hold Twisted figures, stories untold, in this wasteland cold Machines of war, lie silent and inert A monument to madness, a lesson unlearned Concrete giants, crumble down, to dust beneath the blast Twisted metal, on scorched brown ground, a future turned to past [Pre-Chorus] Molten rain, a fiery kiss, on flesh that starts to melt No hero rises, in this abyss, humanity is dealt [Chorus] Is this the future... A barren tombstone... Of ignorance and power, a hunger to control The are no future... hate and greed... No escape from the beneath a blackened sky [Instrumental Guitar Break] [Instrumental Guitar Riff] [Bridge] No flag waves high, no anthem sung, just silence fills the air The poisoned wind, whispers on its tongue, a future none can share Is this the prize, for the games we played? A crown of ash and bone A twisted legacy, forever displayed, a world we made alone [Instrumental Guitar Riff] [Instrumental Heavy Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Guitar Riff] [Chorus] Fallout whispers, a lullaby, of a dream forever gone A barren wasteland, beneath a deadened sky, where hope can't carry on [Chorus] Is this the future... A barren tombstone... Of ignorance and power, a hunger to control The are no future... hate and greed... No escape from the beneath a blackened sky Uh__ Uh- Uh________________ Uh__ Uh- Uh________________ Uh__ Uh- Uh________________ Uh__ Uh- Uh________________ [Instrumental Guitar Riff] [Instrumental Heavy Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Guitar Solo Fade Out To End] [End]
