Countdown begins

Hands start to shake

A blast that's strong enough

To move tectonic plates

I know what's coming

Hard to ignore

Not just humanity

The end of so much more

None survive when atoms split

When atoms split

Upon the deck

I feel the thrill

I watch Polaris launch

As the world goes still

A pyrrhic victory

Too high a price

There's no going back

Once you roll the dice

Nuclear winters here

Polaris drawing near

Bright as a thousand suns

Played with fire for far too long

A global homicide

Smoke and ash fill the sky

How did it come to this?

All I know is

None escape when atoms split

How did it come to this point?

A world we can no longеr fix

Who unleashed such devastation?

Can anyonе survive when atoms mix?

When atoms split

Smoke and ash fill the sky

Cities fell like dominoes

Countless dead and wounded lie

I question if survival knows

May these words serve as a warning

Hopefully never said again

For when faced with impending mourning

It isn't just death that lays blame

Nuclear winters here

Polaris drawing near

Bright as a thousand suns

Played with fire for far too long

A global homicide

Smoke and ash fill the sky

How did it come to this?

All I know is

None escape when atoms split
