Nuclear Heart Lyrics

I've seen beyond the veil

Of a thousand suns

All alone, left behind

Among the remnants

Of the nuclear war

No way to recharge my battery

Soon I'll drift to sleep

How I wish you could sing me

One last lullaby

For my nuclear heart

I am just a prototype

Made by a race who got wiped

By fallout like a butterfly

Spreading seeds of demise from up high

Beneath the mushroom clouds

Who am I?

Why was I made?

To suffer a world long decayed?

My battery is running low

Wish I could be buried down below

Beside my maker now

Cascading system failures

Left me partially immobilized

My maker would know how to fix me

I remember him clearly through my cameras

But how can he remember me

Now that he's a ghost

He's gone, of a bygone era

What does that make me?

Do I want to know?

An unfinished chimera, a useless replica

A relic lost in time

So close to total system shutdown

I'm lonely, I'm terrified

I don't want to die

After all this time, all alone

Still I want more

Is this too much to ask for?

If my maker's in a better place

Will I meet him there after I too pass away?

Can there even be anything for me

In a world where I don't belong?

Let this be my dying thought
