Diamond Head - Dead Reckoning lyrics

New York City, New York Times: 2084 Businessman makes a deal for a nuclear war Time is right to split the atom and the Berlin Wall By your bombs, nuclear holocaust will fall Dead reckoning! Dead reckoning! The city in ruins, children run to hide their skin Can't believe what you see as the war begins Set the sky afire, spread your wings Reap your crop and gather up your many sins Dead reckoning! Dead reckoning! Rapid to the end, bitter times, 2085 Congressmen make a deal, no one's left alive Just waited and the time arrived Preordained, heavily stained with the tears I've cried I've cried... Dead reckoning! Dead reckoning! Dead reckoning! Dead reckoning! Dead reckoning! Dead reckoning! I reckon you're dead!
