Delete - Proximity To Extinction lyrics

Nuclear war

This city's afraid of me
I've seen its true face
The streets are extended gutters
And the gutters are full of blood
And when the drains finally scab over
All the vermin will drown
And all the whores and politicians will look up and shout
'Save us'
And I'll whisper
'No'

Now the whole world stands on the brink
Staring down into bloody hell

As dark as it gets

As a result of the Soviet activity
The watchdog group of nuclear scientists
Moved the Doomsday Clock up to five minutes until midnight
Destruction by nuclear war

The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock face
Analogizing humankind's proximity to extinction
Midnight representing the threat of nuclear war
As of now, it stands at four minutes to midnight
Would you agree that we're that close to annihilation?

Nuclear war
