I live like a cockroach
In a basement wet and cold
Maybe, I'll never know
If there's life at the surfaceI guess, I'm doomed for life
To spend it in this shelter
Fall out blocks the sun
For the years to comeThe fires raged on and on
Then the winter came moving on
It's cold and dark living underground
Buried alive by a nuclear blastFire scorching earth
There was nowhere to run
Then the storms they would howl
Blowing black snow, blowing death aroundI look into your eyes
The X-ray shining through
Claustrophobic madness
Kill your beloved, killing everyoneAt the dawn of a new age
The age of quarrel
And the age of quarrel
Turned into the age of iceThe fires raged on and on
The winter came moving on
It's cold and dark living underground
Buried alive by a nuclear blastI live like a cockroach
In a basement wet and cold
Maybe I'll never know
If there's life at the surfaceGuess, I'm doomed for life
To spend it in this shelter
Fall out blocks the sun
For the years to comeAt the dawn of a new age
The age of quarrel
And the age of quarrel
Turned into the age of ice
