We can hit and miss - they can not hit once

Wars follow in the footsteps of men.
Our history shows us the true nature and true meaning of war.

Always denying the truths of what we pretend.
The savage of man is the blood flowing to the beating the heart of war.

Battles raged, laying landscapes of the dead. Wars over centuries galore.

Invasions, tyrants, fascists all evil men always desire to use the power and mechanics of war.

Science won the game, blunt the sword and erased the scribbles of the pen. Creating unnatural power we can’t yet comprehend. Power we now use as a deterrent to war.

When it starts, it’s all over and there’ll never be an us again. 

Quite simply put - humanity will destroy itself with nuclear war.
