Snow falls
As the clouds rise from the ash
Buildings crumble
Governments collapse
Life turned to hell

Distant screams rattle the ruins
As the puppets are released
Society crumbles
The world watches
As our brothers spill their own blood

Shock waves deafen the lands
Maim the many unsuspecting souls
Craft falls from the sky
Craters emerge
Screams are silenced

Snow falls
Clouds rise from the ruins
The puppets defeated, weak and hopeless
Fall to never rise
Atomic Winter has begun
