Nuclear Seven
Sepultura [eternity-rock.blogspot.com] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living with the sin
A dirty world all around
Another missile speech
As they preach with no leash

Seven nations threatening
The world with a bomb
Sevens sins creating
A world from the womb

Show me a way
I can live and I'll grow
There is a way
That we can learn for ourselves

Written in the eyes the answer is ill
Anger builds a fire withing
Every lie the system is stained
A minefield of egos, opinions and words no more

Show me the way
I can change, I'll grow
Show me a road where I can reach
Where I can reach the light
Light at the end of the road

In this new world, painted black
Sloth and pride and envious anger
In this new world, another mark
Excess and lust with arrogance

In this new world, without a past
Atomic shit to fuck with our heads
In this new world, that's full of crack
Our children cry, they're lost and mad
We're lost

Show me the way




I need to know
Show me the road
