The crypt we now taste
 In the late 1900's, there is no human race
 We split the planet with atomic birth
 Man has died
 We seal the urn.

 Negotiations are over
 Troops are marching to their doom
 All that I see is a nightmare
 The smoke is blotting out the moon
 No, God please stop this bloody slaughter
 We are off the beaten track
 All the masses are rebelling
 To withstand the dark attack
 Will we make it back beyond the black?

 Tanks are rolling in millions
 See them come, and now they're gone
 All the mountains are blackened
 They said it came from just one bomb
 No God please stop this bloody slaughter
 Let it all repeat -- attack
 All the masses are rebelling
 To withstand the dark attack
 Will we make it back beyond the black?
 Will we make it back beyond?

 Out of the crypt with faces marred
 Seems the night has won
 We unite as one
 No more weapons, no more guns
 Look out!
 Food supplies are worth more than gold
 Turn the young into old
 With blinded eyes we count the cost
 Of everything that we lost
 Look out!
 [Screams]
 Watch out!
 Beyond the black
