Run up the spiral staircase to annihilation 
Deserted neglected into the dark 
Devitalised souls cripple the planet in greed 
Proceed until we are absorbed in blood 
Causing the premature burial of nature 
With the spark to a powder keg 
Pining up their toys on the shoulders of the nation 
Turning death into universal heir 

Make us die slowly 
Nuclear winter 
Clouds of dust will hide the sun forever 
Nuclear winter 
Blows straight into your heart 
Nuclear winter 
Day of tomorrow we'll go through 
Make your testament 
Nuclear winter 

Luminaries become dall structures 
Atmospheric cataclysm is the result 
Epileptic doom of lacerated cannibals 
Wrapped up the earth in a shroud 
Eternal darkness artificial brightness 
Exclusive possession of death 
Defaced skulls of radiation 
Mutilated past recognition 

Make us die slowly 
Nuclear winter 
Clouds of dust will hide the sun forever 
Nuclear winter 
Blows straight into your heart 
Nuclear winter 
Day of tomorrow we'll go through 
Make you testament 
Nuclear winter 

Slow death is what we can expect 
Strike will have just this one effect 
Condemned to capital punishment 
By the nuclear sword of Damocles 
Disappeared without leaving a trace 
Mans dignity and grace 
Infected by intruder organism 
Changed into weak willed subjects 
Ineradicable misanthropy 
We stick to nothing 
Instinct of self preservation 
Spreading venereal disease 
Gods of war and vengeance 
Commander with good conscience 
Use our soul for research 
In favour of nuclear technology 

Arrived at the end of the spiral staircase 
At the doorstep to immortality 
Not reached the destination of our dreams 
Decided in the struggle for existence 
Life has lost, death has won the game 
The length of our longing 
Shall be the strength of our glory 
Damocles proud and mighty among men 

Make us die slowly 
Nuclear winter 
Clouds of dust will hide the sun forever 
Nuclear winter 
Blows straight into your heart 
Nuclear winter 
Day of tomorrow we'll go through 
Make you testament 
Nuclear winter
