[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

Seems like nothing survived the bomb

Have the human race destroyed themselves?

Radioactivity pouring down like rain

The sky's not blue anymore

Will there be life? Tell me

On this earth, anymore


[Verse 2]

In the shadow of the burned tree

There's something you might call alive

The body is in, under an inch of ashes

The eyes of the beast

Burning with a red light

A red light, shining bright

Oh bright


[Verse 3]

But I wanna know

Is it something that God created?

Or was it born, in the radioactive rain?

I don't know

But I've been dreaming

About the future

The final lifetime's just begun


[Bridge]

I know we'll destroy ourselves

Did we really choose it?

Or was it the plan, from the beginning?
