Atomic Twilight - Tankard

Today it is quiet and peaceful

Year 2045, life in the domes is easy

Hermetically sealed

Keeping mankind alive

The outer regions are poisoned

The radiation’s high

Ashes and dust are falling

Deadly heat, the planet is dry

Hellish days, toxic and infectious times

Atomic twilight outside

Nuclear gods, you brought us here

Dragging our would into fear

Hellish days, atomic twilight outside

It started just by testing

Some new technologies

Providing peace and balance

Back in those years

It did sound good to me

Now with the memories fading

I can’t remember too well

But jealousy in our hearts

Wiped out reason, security failed

I went out again this evening

To watch the violet night

But my blind eyes don’t see anything

Time is up, I feel the cancer inside
