Thunder Over London

(albüm: Thunder Over London - 2021)

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
