Mass Extinction Lyrics by Code Red (US)

Ethereal War / Code Red

2024

[Verse 1]
Taking one step over the line
Ten more follow, we’re assured it’s fine
Arms race to death, no projected end
Humanity, hellbound from a gift “heaven-sent”
Political shitheads gamble our mother
The skies burn scarlet with atomic thunder
Sentence to nuclear ultra-violence
Upon humanity’s fall, here lies a piercing silence

[Pre-Chorus]
Returning to the brink, the final of the wars
Take shelter in the bunkers, for an exhibition of gore
Cremation of the earth, the dust blots out the sun
A fire in the sky burning 50 megatons
Annihilation upon us, laying man to rest
Left to die by our leaders, greedy till the end
Unarmed, defeated, we cannot fight
No spring dawn, only blackest winter night

[Chorus]
Mass extinction!

[Verse 2]
Cities decay as the bombs detonate
Atomic fire rages, inhabitants incinerate
Decomposition of victims scorched beyond their bones
Radiation rises as the blast wave crescendos
Earthquake shocks as the ground detects the pulse
Buildings crumble, the underground begins to convulse
Remnants emitting the toxicity
Nuclear suffocation until we cannot breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Returning to the brink, the final of the wars
Take shelter in the bunkers, for an exhibition of gore
Cremation of the earth, the dust blots out the sun
A fire in the sky burning 50 megatons
Annihilation upon us, laying man to rest
Left to die by our leaders, greedy till the end
Subject to the bomb, we are the human shields
Chemical warfare, now our fate is sealed

[Chorus]
Mass extinction!

[Pre-Chorus]
Returned to the brink, the final of the wars
Now we’ve seen the slaughter, now we’ve seen the gore
An ice age ensues, it cannot be contained
The atomic trace eternal in a holocaust ptomaine
Age of human is over, an earth without a life
Jettisoned to the Stone Age if we are to survive
Destruction of our mother, lost all that we know
World War 4 shall be fought with rocks and stones

[Chorus]
Mass extinction!
