Clash of the Two Tribes |
| Old man, tell us of the past before the wastelands: we must know at last |
| Legends, stories we have heard but you lived when the mighty fires scorched the |
| world |
| Son, I remember, The elder said; |
| A time of chaos, a time of dread |
| In the east awoke the sleeping bear |
| Its roar of anger reached where eagles dare |
| Ideologies uncompromised became the seeds of hatred and despise |
| We would do anything lest all we knew be destroyed |
| We would do anything we could to avoid the clash |
| Diplomatic tension, coiled up as a spring |
| If unleashed would surely bring us to the brink of destruction |
| So what lay ahead; |
| our survival on a razors edge |
| Naturally assured destruction seemed at last the only way peace could be |
| guaranteed |
| We would do anything lest all we knew be destroyed |
| We would do anything we could to avoid the clash |
| Two sides of the world, alliances formed dividing the earth for the oncoming |
| storm |
| An arms race like never before provided the tools of the ultimate war |
| No one knows who cast the first stone but surely the die had been thrown |
| War waged at the highest of costs: all hope for the future was finally lost |
| Elimination imminent all bridges burnt all chances spent |
| Technology and wealth would cease for patriotic pride to please |
| The cry of a billion souls as one |
| The world as we knew it came undone |
