Thunder Over London

Airships wore the iron cross That lit the dark with dread Night raid counter-strike barrage Brings war down on every head Flying fortress or Doodlebugs A day out in Dresden for all Indiscriminate punishment Backs against the wall High explosive war crime bombs Is coming for us all Black out The Stormfront Hiding from the lightning war on high A Vicious Instinct Look out! There is no retreating tonight Thunder over London Paris feels the steel Berlin going under The victor's frozen heel Wing commander With head held high Missile command decide who'll die Summon the genie the war you're starting Moscow connection Commence with able archer The end of history The game has changed but the dread is all too real There's no Escaping The nuclear hell technology will deal Thunder over London Paris feels the steel Berlin going under The victor's iron heel Fiends unleash the rocket war Vengeance in their eyes Thunder over London Beware the iron sky The triggers set weapons change hands The bombs get bigger But it's the same old plan You and me Us and them Cold war violence to the children of men The sleeping medusa In silos they’re kept Military industrial Complex The wall came down But we’re still not free Hostage to a nuclear Military When the good guys kill The villain’s unclear Another hiroshima Another toxic spill How long till midnight? We’re all getting tired If we don’t stop the clock The world will expire Mutual destruction Friendly fire that sends us all to hell Life with a finger on the button So inured to violence we can't tell This is hell Thunder over London Paris full of ash Berlin going under The nuclear double flash Still primed to fight a rocket war Insanity on every side Thunder over London Beware the iron sky

A warning to curious ignored The hand of fate has led you to this place When it's after dark, at midnight sharp No priest can see what happens to thee In the catacombs, you're all alone They'll grab your bones and carry you before the throne You penetrated the venerated sanctum of a secret league Where everyone's on drugs and dancing to the Hackers OST It's real! It's real! The ritual's begun Beneath the steel Reveal the shrieking! You've asked for this a million times, now you'll be paid in full Reveal! Reveal! Reveal the shrieking skull! Your foolish urge to peer into the dark The stroke of twelve brings the acolytes to the crypt In hooded garb, with upraised arms They chant and cry, 'The skull's alive!' But it cannot be, you won't believe Your very eyes and ears when it begins to scream The ritual is underway and soon you'll know insanity We're people against goodness and normalcy! It's real! It's real! The ritual's begun Beneath the steel Reveal the shrieking Reveal the shrieking skull! It's real! It's real! The ritual's begun Beneath the steel Reveal the shrieking! You've asked for this a million times, now you'll be paid in full Reveal! Reveal! Reveal the shrieking skull! It goes up!

Run down the clock, are you ready or not? Your mouth is in motion but all that I'm hearing is void No time for static, the pace is frenetic Pulling the string in your back and repeating the noise You wanna fight, get to the back of the line You got no class, like school in the summertime Seeing the cracks, tension is certain to break I gotta ask, how much more can you take? Live with your back to the wall You think you've heard it all? A fist, coming out of your mouth Just wanna let it out Don't scream in silence, just scream with violence They take you down but they can't knock you out Put up, shut up Don't scream in silence, just scream with violence It's time to put your metal in your mouth Get up, stand up, shut up and shout You came into my town and thought I would lie down Put pennies on your ass and say goodnight Ride in on a stallion and dice with the hellion The size of the fight in the dog and the dog in the fight Out in the street, the place I do my stuff You want a war, but this you cannot touch The viper is hot, coiled and ready to strike Ready or not, like a knight on a motorbike Live with your back to the wall Here comes a wrecking ball A fist, coming out of your mouth Just wanna let it out Now you're a rager, mysterious stranger Your trousers are tight and your jacket is off at the sleeve You prowl like a dingo, talk my kinda lingo You live for the hunt and ain't got time to bleed If you had a car, the car would be black If you had a fight, you'd always be on the attack If you wanna join my gang of the hardest steel Show me the goods - the penitent man must kneel Live with your back to the wall You know you're bound to fall A fist, coming out of your mouth Just wanna let it out
