lyrics

THE DARKER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT

All the time in the world
Still passes away
As scientists warn
We approach the day
Since we first split the atom
The terrible course is set
Waiting somewhere down the line
The extinction threat

With the sweep of a hand
Everything will change
When nuclear winter’s
Within firing range
Drums of war pound away
A twisted last rite
Now enter forever
The darker side of midnight

The arms race it escalates
As stockpiles grow
The technology of death
To destroy our foe
Our enemies do the same
Deterrents in place
A mutual assurance
To end the human race

Our time of peace
Now just a memory
A violent crescendo
The drums pounding endlessly
A time now forgotten
Erased from our history
Extinction ending
A fate for all mankind
