Doomsday befalls

Awakened by sirens

The fifteen-minute warning

ICBMs scream from their silos into the sky

Warheads detonate over their targets

Nuclear blasts

Incinerate city after city

Swept away by the shock of the explosions

Humankind dies in agony

Ash blocks the sun from penetrating

The choked atmosphere

The global temperature drops

Into nuclear winter

Below, radiation-poisoned

Air, soil, and water is all that's to be found

By what is left of who is left

Fires burn from the haze of a darkened world

World

Below, radiation-poisoned

Air, soil, and water is all that's to be found

By what is left of who is left

Fires burn from the haze of a darkened world

Charred skin hangs from the bones of survivors

As they struggle through leveled rubble

Past gutted buildings and unburied bodies

Hell rages on the face of the earth

All creation lays at the mercy of madmen

Whose commands will cast us into World War Three

If the keys turn from the press of a switch

All life as we know it shall cease to exist

Cease to exist

Cease to exist

Cease to exist

Cease to exist
