Waiting in a cold room dark for hours

And the time goes on so slow

Carried by desire for survival

From the crying wind that blows


Day into night - you can see their fear

It goes on, and on, and on

Cold is the night, as the time grows near

As we wait, and we hide, from the fallout


And we cry out

In the fallout, from the sky

In the fallout

And we hide out

From the fallout, in the sky


(The) Aftermath of cold light strikes the city

When the children raid the streets

Tell them they can live their lives in pity

For the dogs whose war they lead


[Bridge]


[Chorus]


Fighting to forget the guilt and violence

But the pain it burns so deep

In their eyes that whisper sad defiance

Of a dream they'll never reach
