Desolation Alley
Its been years now
Since the bombs exploded
I'm all alone
My life eroded
Above the ground
Is not any more
The life has gone
Leaving a putrid core
All my days i stay sitting
Scavenging for food
Even diseased vermin
Look so good
The radiation
Has changed everything
From the sun being round
To seasonal spring
Death and decay
In acrid drift
What natures left
Which way, will its balance shift
I bleed from sores
That take weeks to heal
I bleed from my heart
That was made of steel
My wish for tomorrow
Is not to awake
To leave Desolation Alley
And this nuclear ache
