Kreator - After The Attack lyrics

[M: Petrozza ú L: Reil ú c Maldoror]

[Originally recorded for a promo vinyl single for Sounds magazine, England, featuring Motærhead, Kreator and two other bands I forgot about. Ventor wrote the lyrics about life after a nuclear holocaust. I guess it reflects some kind of the general paranoia in the 80s.]

Fire's coming down, hot winds blow the smoke away

Low screams of the survivers the innocent have paid

Nobody knows what happened, light was all they've seen

People walk through the destruction of the enemy

Molten bodies become more and more,

No chance to be saved

Helpless childreen seek for their parents

But they're into the grave

After the attack empty souls tormented brains

After the attack deformed mutants psychical confusion

After the attack nuclear winter in the land

After the attack will this ever end

Everywhere starts the search for water and groceries

Hate rules the land you get nothing if you please

Fear is controlling all actions kill to survive

The scarlet sky is the witness of all as the mutants

arrive

Between ruins rotting corpses lie the smell of burning

bones

All hope is in vain as death is creeping through the

stones

The only way out without pain is quick suicide

All live in hell and fear

It's your fate, it's better to die

[Taken from the "Renewal" demo ú 1992]
