The streets were cold and barren   The nights were dark and dank   And the sky, hadn't had a rain cloud in it for 25 years....   The buildings were dead and the alleys   Stunk from things that used to live there   Ahhh that wasn't the city I remembered      A Child in the street, barefoot pullin' at his   Mama's tattered coattails: like a rat dogs existence   With not a scrap left on the plate   And so much like a fable, their lives so unstable   Cause the only thing left was their faith   And there sure as hell ain't much I can do   About it....      There's a Meltdown in the sky   There's a new day comin' and I don't know why   There's a fear that gets me high   And the cold night numbs as the Jet Black clouds roll on by....      So sad was the scene that my eyes did behold   Made me wonder just who was the foe   And was it all to come true what Nostradamus   Had predicted such a long long time ago?   You could hear screams and moanin'   From the people atoning   For their sins of a guilt ridden life   And the final door shuts   From the wind that leaves cuts   From the edge on the blade of God's knife   And there sure as hell ain't much I can do about....      There's a Melt Down in the Sky   There's a new day comin and I don't know why   There's a tear stuck in my eye   There's a new day comin' and I don't know why      Battle lines had been drawn   Mother nature how she cried   By her side, till the dawn   Couldn't kill her if they tried   How they tried, open eyed, genocide   Then... she died      Battle lines had been drawn   Mother nature how she cried   By her side, till the dawn   Couldn't kill her if they tried   How they tried, open eyed, genocide   Then... she died      There's a Meltdown in the sky   There's a new day comin' and I don't know why   There's a fear that gets me high   And the cold night numbs as the Jet Black clouds roll on by...
