The Nuclear Winter

Climbing the darkest of mountains
Facing the wind on the sea
Searching the cities alone
Braving the ice and the snow
Vowing to carry the fire
Roaming the earth just to see
If civilization is gone
And endless destruction abounds

Can we be the only ones
Left in this frozen world

We found something alive
Something awake
Fearsome sounds rip through the night
Leading the way
We found something alive
In the nuclear winter

A building surrounded by wire
The research facility
All the defenses are down
This is the source of the sound
A creature created by science
Evolved in the cold to survive
The fallout did not kill it off
Now it can never be stopped

Go
There is no time to lose
Now
It's fight or flight that you choose

It's made completely of ice
Eyes glowing brighter than fire
Fiercely it howls in the night
Into the storm it takes flight
Flying from mountain to land
And crushing bones with its hands
Gnashing its fangs in the light
Unafraid in the firefight
Now our companions are gone
Slipping away in the dark

Race through the night
Run for your life
In the nuclear winter
