Colder Than Ice


You stare me down
I stare you down
Every Single Civilian frowns

The Pressure is on
Almost anything could go wrong

A taboo fear hangs in the air
There's only so much we can all bear

Every country's leader has their finger on the trigger
No one's ready to give up their life's memories and things even bigger

Everything will be gone
We'll probably never see another dawn

The World could be destroyed 6 times over, and over, and over, and over

So, whose gonna press the button first?
