Nuclear Winter

from Mephisto's Appealing by Dawn of Oblivion

/

about

No other song have went through so many structural changes in its development as this one.
The result is best described by a fan that once said: "It's New Model Army ending up in Tiamat, just to get back to New Model Army again."

lyrics

Lyrics:

Children of the nuclear winter
Children of the night
There's ice, ice in their eyes
Contamination and radiation
Superstitious lies
Mayday away

Kings and queens of blizzardstorms
Avalantic cries
There's ice, ice in their eyes
Desert of bones under red skies
Stunning silent screams
Mayday away

CHORUS:
Run, try to catch up with our yesterdays
Nothing's left but the time
And the nuclear winter
Hold, holding back for another day
Cold and hunger prevails
In the badlands of the ice

Transpiration of toxication
Fiendish grimness collides
There's ice, ice in their eyes
Soaking up the enemies
White powder covers and blinds
Mayday away

CHORUS

I want to close my eyes and dream of the other side
I want to walk away to close the doors of perception
Take these pictures away
Float in time with the stream
But then I have to wake up again
Walls of ice covers my eyes
I can no longer close my eyes
There is no other side

Children of the nuclear winter
Children of the night
There's ice, ice in their eyes
