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....
