Originally a b-side on this EP, but the song became very popular on dancefloors on the European underground scene.
We always liked the combination of a dance melody to a doomsday theme.
lyrics
Lyrics:
Wanted it all in my hands
But it went down into a lie
Scarred faces of innocence
Caught up in a line waiting to die
Decadent lives, virtue and pride
Nuclear wifes in sinister orgasm
CHORUS
Apocalyptic fingers crossed
Humanities decease
Warlords struggling when nature calls
Overwhelming seas
In armaments race we’re obliged to pay
With our lives, with our souls
In polluting skies as Freon tides
We take our potion, the ulcer flows
A thousand years of poverty and agony
Where evolution cracks, chaos commands
CHORUS*2
So you wanted it all in your hand
But it went down into a lie
Your scarred face of the innocence
Caught up in a line waiting to die
A thousand years of poverty and agony
Where evolution cracks, chaos commands
CHORUS*4
