WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE
February 14, 1987
We who are about to die
Face the End and wonder why
Someone ordained it it�s true
Could it be someone like you
Everwhence the Order came
We obey it just the same
In the plan we play our part
Vicious cycle that we start
We admit the World is lost
We succumb to Holocaust
We adorn the blackened Shroud
We unleash the Mushroom Cloud
We escort Death to the Throne
We burn the Earth to the Bone
We destroy til all is gone
We leave Death to carry on
If God does exist indeed
Where is He in times of need
Are we allowed heaven�s grace
When we carve Hell on the Earth�s face
Think of all the wars have past
Finally this is the last
We have caused too many deaths
Fouled the Air with poisoned Breaths
Stained the Water with our Waste
Destroyed Nature in our haste
Made our final grand Mistake
The last one the Earth will take
Radiation will kill all
Forest and city will fall
Death on Land and Sea and Air
Kill even when nothing�s there
Fallout causing Acid Rain
Burns those who try to explain
Technology had to fall
It was worth it after all
It dissolved all Government
As soon as the word was sent
Who won the War, Us or Them
R.I.P.I.C.B.M.
Nothing was won, all was Loss
Why did Christ die on the Cross
Did he simply buy us Time
And forestall the final Crime
Is that what the Prophets meant
That this Death was Heavensent
We Who Are About to Die �
