Lyrics
Balance of Terror
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
30 minutes is all it will take
A nuclear flash, the final mistake
30 minutes - rain hell from above
You say it won't come, you say it's a bluff
30 minutes to watch your family die
They say it's just a bargain, we say it's a lie
Peeling off skin, falling out hair
If the fireball don't get you, there'll be death in the air!
They call it balance of power (x3)
We call it balance of terror
30 minutes - that's all it will take
A nuclear blast, the final mistake
30 minutes - rain hell from above
They say it won't come, they say it's a bluff
Deformed children innocent pawns
Radiation legacy goes on and on
They call it balance of power
We call it balance of terror
Murder!!
They call it balance of power
We call it balance of terror!!
