Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standin' 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
[Verse 2]
Whispers in the air
Tell the tales of the brothers gone
Desolation, devastation
What a mess we made when it all went wrong
[Verse 3]
Watchin' from the edge of the circus
For the games to begin
Gladiators draw their swords
Form their ranks for armageddon
[Verse 4]
I'm nuclear, I'm wild
I'm breakin' up inside
A heart of broken glass defiled
Deep inside the abandoned child
[Verse 5]
Standin' on the edge of the underworld
Lookin' at the abyss
And I'm hopin' for some miracle
To breakout, to escape from all this
[Verse 6]
Whispers in the air
Tell the tale of  a life that's gone
Desolation, devastation
What a mess we made when it all went wrong
[Verse 7]
I'm nuclear, I'm wild
I'm breakin' up inside
A heart of broken glass defiled
Deep inside the abandoned child
[Verse 8]
I'm nuclear, I'm wild
I'm breakin' up inside
A heart of broken glass defiled
Deep inside the abandoned child
[Verse 9]
Deep inside the abandoned child
