In Decades Decline - Heavy Metal lyrics

A million rounds of ammunition Coated in depleted uranium A whole country becomes a laboratory For nuclear weapon by-production It slices through tanks with minimum fuss Like placenta to foetus Miscarriages and birth defects At least 3 times more than before the gulf war The world's heaviest metal Upon impact it explodes Millions of radioactive particles Enter the food chain and inhaled Congenital deformities, genetic plague Children born with no brains Stumped limbs, no heads Entire blind villages with heart defects South iraq, a radioactive d**h camp Thousands die monthly DU's legacy is further enhanced By embargoes and artificial poverty "People your blood will not be shed in vain" 8 years later, the bombs fall again
