Lyrics: Mike Oldfield
Vocals: Luke Spiller
”About emotional suffering.”
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 take 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 abandoning child
I’m nuclear
I’m wild
I’m breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The abandoned child
[guitar solo]
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!
