First Strike

Beware the voices of the past
Say the race is run too fast
It's a pace that cannot last

They push too much and now we're gonna bend
So it's war to us they send knowing it could be the end

Alarm screamin' in my ears
The chained thrills of my fears
With a message that is clear

Armies roll across the borderline now they're wasting little time
Come to claim your home and mine

Waiting for the first strike - first strike!
Armageddon calling tonight
Waiting for the first strike - first strike!
Armageddon calling tonight

Look out, the bear is on the prowl
The wind begins to howl

The air becomes too loud
Watchers in the sky send us reports
They're stronger than we thought
The ghost ring is too taught

Waiting for the first strike - first strike!
Armageddon calling tonight
Waiting for the first strike - first strike!
Armageddon calling tonight

Take care they've beaten us today
We've nothing left to say
Only one card now to play

Uncle Sam is launching everything
Ivan's laughing in the wing
Now there's nothing left to win

Waiting for the first strike - first strike!
Armageddon calling tonight
Waiting for the first strike - first strike!
Armageddon calling tonight

Cos we've been waitin'
