A desert zone, some foreign land

Things got a little out of hand

The sergeant took a sleeping pill

And left the troops with time to kill

They went into the testing zone

And there it was, all alone

The infamous red button

Peer pressure got the best of them

They gathered round and then they slammed

This trigger of destruction

What followed then, a massive bang

A light so bright, it blinded them

A nuclear blast across the sand

Set fire to this withered land

The soldiers started to regret

And panic got the best of them

The fire squad was waiting

How could they have been so dumb?

Cause now nothing could save them from

An quick honorless ending

Mushroom cloud

Master of the sky

Mushroom cloud

Do you wanna fry?

Mushroom cloud

No one lives to tell

Mushroom cloud

A one-way ticket straight to hell /

The Reaper will collect the souls

Pillar of death and destruction

Bringer of misery and pain

Nuclear detonation put an end to all that lives

Thunderstorms and fireballs made sure nothing survived

What started as a drunken act of foolishness and fun

Has turned into a nuclear zone for centuries to come
