Twitching Tongues - World War V

The atomic tide turns, figures in black surround
Women and children burn, your experience profound

Will you fight? Will you fall?
Nuclear graves await us all
Welcome fear, abandon regret
Hell’s chorus won’t sing your final number yet

Radiation spreads through the core, our rotting earth bleeds

You can’t save the ones you love
Just hope their souls ascend above
You will never have the heart to let your people fall apart
Take the warning, save yourself
I won’t ask again

Drenched in sweat, covered in blood
Body in shock from the enemy flood
Teeth like wolves, mutated from man
A boot to the head and you’ve done all you can

I don’t see a finish, mutated beginnings
Sky rains ash tonight

Desolate earth, so few remain
Repopulation, you cannot attain
Thirsting for war, here it is quenched
World under fire, your planet entrenched

(Present arms)
(Kill by any means necessary)
(You will not survive today, nor will your loved ones)

Will we survive, our lives in your hands
Any will die to meet your command
Through ashes and bodies on our knees we crawl
Our final stand, united we fall

You can die in pain, or live another die
You’ve got to fight to survive
This is world war five
