Atomic Shadow

Intro

Uh

Look

Listen

The map is bleeding

Verse 1

NPT papers shredded on the desk

Tehran's calling a bluff

Johnson says they got the heavy stuff now

Third party deal under the table

A demon in the basement

Watch the blast wave take the room

Pre-Chorus

They told the north to run

They told the civilians to scatter

They told the world it didn't matter

Chorus

Atomic shadow on the sand

Nobody is safe in no man's land

The treaty's dead

The crown is red

Power shifting to the East

Feeding the belly of the beast

Atomic shadow on the sand

Nobody is safe in no man's land

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Red lines

Old ties

Watch 'em break

Verse 2

Doha's looking at Beijing for the check

Riyadh turned their back on the old guard

They don't need a West Coast hero

Nuclear winters coming for the crown

Islamabad in the mix

The border is a firing line

Pre-Chorus

They told the north to run

They told the civilians to scatter

They told the world it didn't matter

Chorus

Atomic shadow on the sand

Nobody is safe in no man's land

The treaty's dead

The crown is red

Power shifting to the East

Feeding the belly of the beast

Atomic shadow on the sand

Nobody is safe in no man's land

Bridge

Conflicting stories for the voters back home

Conflicting lies while the drones roam

Conflicting ghosts in the white stone

I saw the shift

I felt the rift

I heard the truth

Chorus

Atomic shadow on the sand

Nobody is safe in no man's land

The treaty's dead

The crown is red

Power shifting to the East

Feeding the belly of the beast

Atomic shadow on the sand

Nobody is safe in no man's land

Drop

Red lines

Old ties
