Twitching Tongues – World War V lyrics

The atomic tide turns, figures in black surround.
Women and children burn, Your experience profound.

[Chorus]
Will you fight? Will you fall?
Nuclear graves await us all.
Welcome fear, abandon regret.
Hell’s chorus won’t sing your final number yet.

Radiation spreads through the core, our rotting earth bleeds.

You can’t save the ones you love.
Just hope their souls ascend above.
You will never have the heart to let your people fall apart.
Take the warning, save yourself.
I won’t ask again.

[Chorus]

Drenched in sweat, covered in blood.
Body in shock from the enemy flood.
Teeth like wolves, mutated from man.
A boot to the head and you’ve done all you can.

I don’t see a finish, mutated beginnings,
Sky rains ash tonight.

[Chorus]

Desolate earth, so few remain.
Repopulation, you cannot attain.
Thirsting for war, here it is quenched.
World under fire, your planet entrenched.

(Present arms)
(Kill by any means necessary)
(You will not survive today, nor will your loved ones)

Will we survive, our lives in your hands.
Any will die to meet your command.
Through ashes and bodies on our knees we crawl.
Our final stand, united we fall.

You can die in pain, or live another die.
You’ve got to fight to survive.
This is world war five.
