The night is cold, the sun is down

I see faces through the wire

No chance for them

No shoulder left to cry on



It's 4 am out on the street

Through the smoke I see the fire

It's a funeral pyre

For them to die on



Countdown to zero

Just begun

Countdown to zero

It's 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, it's over now

As we taxi down Runway One

Tell me please

You'll wake me when it's over



Countdown to zero

Just begun

Countdown to zero

It's time to start the run



Do you realize what's happening in Western Europe?

Norway, Finland, Scotland, England

We'll be the first to go

Don't do it



Countdown to zero

Just begun

Countdown to zero

It's time to start the run



Don't do it

Don't do it

Don't start the countdown to zero

We want to live

We want to live

We will live

You've got your finger on the trigger

Take it off

Let it go

Let it pass

Let it go
