Meltdown Lyrics by Watchtower

Energetic Disassembly

1985

There's an air of urgency
The wail of sirens pierces the night
The damage has already been done
Irreversible accidents, security's tight
This is not a drill
It's a drastic tragedy to cope with
Time is the worst enemy
To those who play with the fate of man

Breakdown, warning - nuclear nightmare, reality
Breakdown, warning - contaminates society
Breakdown, warning - radioactive atmosphere
Breakdown, warning - mistakes are now becoming clear

Meltdown - becomes a word of panic
Meltdown - radiation burns the skin
Meltdown - the public has yet, to be informed
Meltdown - invisible killer closing in...

Breakdown, warning - nuclear nightmare, reality
Breakdown, warning - contaminates society
Breakdown, warning - radioactive atmosphere
Breakdown, warning - mistakes are now becoming clear

Geiger counters crackle in a frenzy
Useless meters to prove our danger
An enemy that man created
How ironic that he cannot fight
Technology beyond control
Build up of waste, no safe disposal

Breakdown, warning - nuclear nightmare, reality
Breakdown, warning - contaminates society
Breakdown, warning - radioactive atmosphere
Breakdown, warning - mistakes are now becoming clear
