Lyrics:

Metal rain collapse
Crawls out
Which way the will go 
Harness to ever last 
Wallow in the past
A truth
At times so shallow 
Develop an attitude 
More time
Decay
Lapse in
Fortify thyself
Cut off 
In bred and forever more 
What a way to end the game 

Failing
Bleeding eyes 
Caricature of pain 
Distant
So distant 
Melting in the rain 

Cold war
Flies forth on wings of self destruction 
An orgy of missle tests 
A mortifying flash
Huddled
Round the radio-active
Console to control 
The lives of the young
Levels of toxic waste 
Disgrace
Yet tolerant
Of all that's been done 
Built up for a future race
A race thats never won 

Falling from on high 
Meet the makers face 
Distort forget time
Forever leave this place 

An atom fuse
Shortens with man's progression 
Decipher what's relative 
A legal bureaucrat
Motions with a tender finger 
Who's poverty
And who will be next 
A man in a cave
Further action left at that 
Two gaping holes 
A dripping carnivore 
Nature's regret
The law of things so brutalized 
An enemy that need not 

Third world 
Make peace 
Visionary 
Repress the weak

That's all there is 

A hint of gleam
A halo of old jaded weakness 
Corruption runs harmonious 
Taken by extremes
Doorway
Extinction pleases 
Repression is based on law
For a length of time
Full of elemental powers 
In bred and not brilliant 
No fortune could buy this
