"A dramatic, optimistic look at a nuclear war while still being mournful. Has three harmonies/layers or some other thing."

lyrics

fall
and don't stall
the ground
it does call

and yes
we await you
and no
we can not hate you
for despite the worsening weather
you bring us together

----

now the bombs are falling
like a heavy metal rain
we gather in the countryside
and plan our new campaign

and even though we're dying
and our cities are in flames
there's plenty still to smile about
and we are taking names

i think you'd be surprised
how well distraction eases pain
and we are keeping busy
and we're not going insane

'cause war is never permanent
and life goes on the same
and in what little time we have
we may as well join in the game

----

we escaped from the light
and the fire
and the bombs that you drop
take us higher

----

destroy what you can and then move on
we will still be here when you are gone

we'll still be here
still be without fear
still united
and still we will fight to survive

fall
and don't stall
