I live like a cockroach

In a basement wet and cold

Maybe i'll never know

If there's life at the surface



I guess i'm doomed for life

To spend it in this shelter

Fall out blocks the sun

For the years to come



The fires raged on and on

Then the winter came moving on

It's cold and dark living underground

Buried alive by a nuclear blast



Fire scorching earth

There was nowhere to run

Then the storms they would howl

Blowing black snow, blowing death around



I look into your eyes

The x-ray shining through

Claustrophobic madness

Kill your beloved, killing everyone



At the dawn of a new age

The age of quarrel

And the age of quarrel

Turned into the age of ice



The fires raged on and on

Then the winter came moving on

It's cold and dark living underground

Buried alive by a nuclear blast



I live like a cockroach

In a basement wet and cold

Maybe i'll never know

If there's life at the surface



I guess i'm doomed for life

To spend it in this shelter

Fall out blocks the sun

For the years to come



At the dawn of a new age

The age of quarrel

And the age of quarrel

Turned into the age of ice
