I live like a cockroach   In a basement wet and cold   Maybe, I'll never know   If there's life at the surface      I guess, I'm doomed for life   To spend it in this shelter   Fall out blocks the sun   For the years to come      The fires raged on and on   Then the winter came moving on   It's cold and dark living underground   Buried alive by a nuclear blast      Fire scorching earth   There was nowhere to run   Then the storms they would howl   Blowing black snow, blowing death around      I look into your eyes   The X-ray shining through   Claustrophobic madness   Kill your beloved, killing everyone      At the dawn of a new age   The age of quarrel   And the age of quarrel   Turned into the age of ice      The fires raged on and on   The winter came moving on   It's cold and dark living underground   Buried alive by a nuclear blast      I live like a cockroach   In a basement wet and cold   Maybe I'll never know   If there's life at the surface      Guess, I'm doomed for life   To spend it in this shelter   Fall out blocks the sun   For the years to come      At the dawn of a new age   The age of quarrel   And the age of quarrel   Turned into the age of ice
