The war is over 
The crypt we now taste 
In the late 1900's, there is no human race 
We split the planet with atomic birth 
Man has died 
We seal the urn. 

Negotiations are over 
Troops are marching to their doom 
All that I see is a nightmare 
The smoke is blotting out the moon 
No, God please stop this bloody slaughter 
We are off the beaten track 
All the masses are rebelling 
To withstand the dark attack 
Will we make it back beyond the black? 

Tanks are rolling in millions 
See [bad word]  and now they're gone 
All the mountains are blackened 
They said it came from just one bomb 
No God please stop this bloody slaughter 
Let it all repeat -- attack 
All the masses are rebelling 
To withstand the dark attack 
Will we make it back beyond the black? 
Will we make it back beyond? 

Out of the crypt with faces marred 
Seems the night has won 
We unite as one 
No more weapons, no more guns 
Look out! 
Food supplies are worth more than gold 
Turn the young into old 
With blinded eyes we count the cost 
Of everything that we lost 
Look out! 
[Screams] 
Watch out! 
Beyond the black
