 Land of ice

 Riff 1 x2
 Riff 2 x3
 In 1987 they build a new machine
 To conquer our future, to face things never seen
 Curious of new weapons with more power to destroy
 Ready for the wars with their exciting dangerous toy

 Riff 3 x1
 Flickering lights in the dark indicating ignition
 Energy runs through the circuits to start the transmission

 Land of ice

 Riff 2 x3
 In 1999 they find their destination
 But reality on the screens destroys their fascination
 Ruins and debris neither life nor the spore
 A desert of ice with all the signs of nuclear war

 Riff 3 x1
 Only the wind is breaking the threatening silence
 Sensors show no human beings are living here now

 Riff 4 x4
 Riff 2 x3
 Riff 5a x2
 Riff 5b x2
 Riff 2 x2
 But there are shadows moving around the vessel more and more
 Disfigured creatures gathering, scratching claws on the door
 The choir of the damned built of thousands of rough throats
 "You are the humans of the past, who blasted our hopes"

 Riff 3 x2
 May you come to see desolate world you created
 Now you can take back a message to spread in your time
 Tell'em what happens if they will continue this madness
 Stop building bombs which are able to change the world
 Into the land of ice
