The night is cold, the sun is down

I see faces through the wire

No chance for them

No shoulder left to cry on

It's 4 am out on the street

Through the smoke I see the fire

It's a funeral pyre

For them to die on

Countdown to zero

Just begun

Coundown to zero

It's time to start the run

The city lights are fading now

As I climb into the plane

To shield me from

The stinging acid rain

And this is it, it's over now

As we taxi down runway one

Tell me please

You'll wake me when it's over

Countdown to zero

Just begun

Coundown to zero

It's time to start the run

Do you realize what's happening in western europe?

Norway, finland, scotland, england

We will be the first to go

Don't do it

Countdown to zero

Just begun

Coundown to zero

It's time to start the run
