VERSE 2:
Blow the universe into nothingness.
Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest.


VERSE 3:
Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast.
Armageddon is here, like said in the past.


VERSE 4:
Soon to fill our lungs, the hot winds of death.
The gods are laughing, so take your last breath.

	Not only is this a great song, it conveys the feelings towards nuclear war and the fears society has of it.

No Picture Athena-beana-fo Average	#7 by Athena-beana-fo-feena -katrina-gina-go-zeena-fe-fi-fo...ATHENA at Apr 13, 2002 at 8:01 AM EST
	I think you guys have the whole anti-nuclear war quite wrapped up. What I like about this song though is the intro, it's peaceful. In my opinion this represents peace before the development of nuclear warfare. Also, the style in which the lyrics are sang, syllable by syllable in some cases enphasise the on going struggle of nuclear warfare.
