The Nuclear Option
Lyrics by Juha Untinen
In our darkest hour, we've lost our way Embracing the flames where destruction holds sway Nuclear fire engulfs the sky The horrors beneath the mushroom The echoes of our screams Humanity's downfall A nightmare of extremes Lost in the chaos, blinded by our fears The architects of doom, the bringers of tears Bound by our own hubris, we seal our fate Radiation scars the earth, poisoning its core The ashes of our choices, the fallout of our greed In the shadows we dwell, haunted by our crimes In the aftermath of destruction, we stand alone Witnessing the ruins, our hearts turn to stone The lessons learned far too late What led them to believe in the nuclear fire's embrace? In the ashes they found solace A twisted salvation Rationalizing destruction as the only viable foundation In their hearts did they truly comprehend the depths of devastation they chose to descend? The echoes of our screams Humanity's downfall, a nightmare of extremes Our twilight is here, and here we stand There it is! There it comes! Our salvation!
