The night is cold, the sun is down
I see faces through the wire
No chance for them
No shoulder left to cry on
Its 4 am out on the street
Through the smoke I see the fire
Its a funeral pyre
For them to die on
{chorus}
Countdown to zero
Just begun
Coundown to zero
Its time to start the run
The city lights are fading now
As I climb into the plane
To shield me from
The stinging acid rain
And this is it, its over now
As we taxi down runway one
Tell me please
Youll wake me when its over
{chorus}
Do you realize whats happening in western europe?
Norway, finland, scotland, england
We will be the first to go
Dont do it
{chorus}
Dont do it
Dont do it
Dont start the countdown to zero
We want to live
We want to live
We will live
Youve got your finger on the trigger
Take it off
Let it go
Let it pass
Let it go
