  • Standing on the edge of the crater
    Like the prophets once said
    And the ashes are all cold now
    No more bullets and the embers are dead
    Whispers in the air tell the tales
    Of the brothers gone
    Desolation, devastation
    What a mess we made, when it all went wrong

    Watching from the edge of the circus
    For the games to begin
    Gladiators draw their swords
    Form their ranks for Armageddon

    I'm nuclear
    I'm wild
    I'm breaking up inside
    A heart of broken glass
    Defiled
    Deep inside
    The abandoned child

    Standing on the edge of the underworld
    Looking at the abyss
    And I'm hoping for some miracle
    To breakout, to escape from all this
    Whispers in the air tell the tales
    Of a life that's gone
    Desolation, devastation
    What a mess we made, when it all went wrong

    I'm nuclear
    I'm wild
    I'm breaking up inside
    A heart of broken glass
    Defiled
    Deep inside
    The abandoned child

    I'm nuclear
    I'm wild
    I'm breaking up inside
    A heart of broken glass
    Defiled
    Deep inside
    The abandoned child Writer/s: MICHAEL GORDON OLDFIELD
