Fountains Of Flame
The pressure increases - - Another notch in the belt,
With the tension mounting, North, East, West and South.
Major countries cut-off all supply and demand,
In a state of panic - - Our time is at hand!
On the verge of destruction - - Warning systems alert,
Peace Talks held in anger only make matters worse.
Negotiations default and conflicts still persist,
All hope of Peace is abandoned - - It no longer exists!
What does it matter who's at fault?
What does it matter?
What does it matter who's to blame?
What does it matter?
What does it matter - Does it matter at all?
When our Future's consumed in Fountains of Flame!
Amidst the smell of death - - the stench of war,
The number of dead still remains unsure.
Defenses are weakened - Our Future's at stake,
Just how much more will we be able to take?!
==========
I was talking to another soldier- one night in the bar,
and he said . . .
"Man, I can't believe they've let it come this far!
They say that ...History repeats itself,
But, Hell - This time no one wins!
We'll all become the losers- come the end, my friend!!"
==========
And just then ..over the airwaves - a tone can be heard!
With destiny awaiting the FINAL WORD!
All broadcasts are ceased for a Special Report,
The button's been pushed - Our time is cut short!!!
What does it matter who's at fault?
What does it matter?
What does it matter who's to blame?
What does it matter?
What does it matter - Does it matter at all?
When our Future's consumed in Fountains of Flame!
