Melt Down

The streets were cold and barrenThe nights were dark and dankAnd the sky, hadn't had a rain cloud in it for 25 years....The buildings were dead and the alleysStunk from things that used to live thereAhhh that wasn't the city I rememberedA Child in the street, barefoot pullin' at hisMama's tattered coattails: like a rat dogs existenceWith not a scrap left on the plateAnd so much like a fable, their lives so unstableCause the only thing left was their faithAnd there sure as hell ain't much I can doAbout it....There's a Meltdown in the skyThere's a new day comin' and I don't know whyThere's a fear that gets me highAnd the cold night numbs as the Jet Black clouds roll on by....So sad was the scene that my eyes did beholdMade me wonder just who was the foeAnd was it all to come true what NostradamusHad predicted such a long long time ago?You could hear screams and moanin'From the people atoningFor their sins of a guilt ridden lifeAnd the final door shutsFrom the wind that leaves cutsFrom the edge on the blade of God's knifeAnd there sure as hell ain't much I can do about....There's a Melt Down in the SkyThere's a new day comin and I don't know whyThere's a tear stuck in my eyeThere's a new day comin' and I don't know whyBattle lines had been drawnMother nature how she criedBy her side, till the dawnCouldn't kill her if they triedHow they tried, open eyed, genocideThen... she diedBattle lines had been drawnMother nature how she criedBy her side, till the dawnCouldn't kill her if they triedHow they tried, open eyed, genocideThen... she diedThere's a Meltdown in the skyThere's a new day comin' and I don't know whyThere's a fear that gets me high
