Nuclear Lyrics & Chords By Mike Oldfield

Standing on the edge of the crater
Like the prophets once said
And the ashes are all cold now
No more bullets and the embers are dead

Whispers in the air tell the tales
Of the brothers gone
Desolation
Devastation
What a mess we made
When it all went wrong

Watching from the edge of the circus
For the games to begin
Gladiators draw their swords
Form their ranks for Armageddon

I'm nuclear, I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass, defiled
Deep inside, 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 tale 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

I'm nuclear, I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass, defiled
Deep inside, the abandoned child

Deep inside, the abandoned child!
