Standing on the edge of the crater 
                       Cm 
Like the prophets once said 
        Fm            Cm 
And the ashes are all cold now 
        Fm             Cm 
No more bullets and the embers are dead 
Bbm             Fm           Bbm 
Whispers in the air tell the tales 
                Fm 
Of the brothers gone

Desolation

Devastation

What a mess we made

When it all went wrong

Watching from the edge of the circus 
                 Cm 
For the games to begin 
    Fm                Cm 
Gladiators draw their swords 
           B9            C 
Form their ranks for armageddon

I'm nuclear

I'm wild 
Bbm      Cm 
I'm breaking up inside 
           Fm 
A heart of broken glass 
Cm 
Defiled 
Bbm 
Deep inside 
              Cm 
The abandoned child 


Standing on the edge of the underworld 
Looking at the abyss 
And I'm hoping for some miracle 
To break out, to escape from all this 
Whispers in the air 
Tell the take of a life that's gone 
Desolation 
Devastation 
What a mess we made 
When it all went wrong 

I'm nuclear 
I'm wild 
I'm breaking up inside 
A heart of broken glass 
Defiled 
Deep inside 
The abandoned child

A heart of broken glass 
Defiled
