Lyrics
WWIII
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.
Device of doom, pure savagery
A holocaust on land or sea
On blighted land these lords of war shall roam
Dictator's oath, his destiny
Destroyer of humanity
Launch an assault that the world has never seen
Nuclear warhead, dropping on the masses
Leaving them all dead before they reach the underground
Seeking out the shelter
Mushroom cloud last thing they see
Vision blurred, their eyeballs bleed
Brutality… fuels the death machine
Organs fail, the blood shall seep
Open sores beyond belief
Slowly rot as you die from the inside out
Nuclear warhead, dropping on the masses
Leaving them all dead before they reach the underground
Turning the streets red everything's turned to ashes
Welcome to World War Three
Everyone is gonna die
There is no escape
Your lungs turning black
No one can save you
It's Armageddon!
All hope is lost
The earth's been blown away
It's pouring down
Unholy acid rain
Forever raining blood
Forever blot the sun
Depraved, no sign of life
In darkness, devoid of light
Nuclear warhead, dropping on the masses
Leaving them all dead before they reach the underground
Turning the streets red everything's turned to ashes
The war of the world
There is no more world
Welcome to World War Three
World burning down
Beyond the dark side
Nobody here left to live
World burning down
Beyond the dark side
We'll all be burning in Hell
World burning down
Beyond the dark side
Nobody here left to live
World burning down
Beyond the dark side
We'll all be burning in Hell
