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 will 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
