We turned our back to the chemical dawn
Orphans gone all infernal
Child knives in atomic eyes
We’re living inside a bombshell

Wraiths in the rubble of the perishing world
All strung out in the fall out
Television’s terror-vision womb erupts
With the kids of the meltdown

We’re dancing with the dead
We’re dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead

Dance with the skeletons
There’s nothing left
Dance with the skeletons
Gasp out for breath
We were raised up by the end
Generation death!
We were raised up by the end
We’re dead ends
We’re dead ends

Primitive shadows in the glare of a war
Brittle skin knows no warmth
Hand-me-down heirlooms of endless gloom
Broken hearts can’t break more
We’re dancing with the dead
We’re dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead

Dance with the skeletons
There’s nothing left
Dance with the skeletons
Gasp out for breath
We were raised up by the end
Generation death!
We were raised up by the end
We’re dead ends
We’re dead ends

Fearless dogs
Carrion crows
Feel the collapse coming close
Fearless dogs
Carrion crows
Feel the collapse coming close

We’re dancing with the dead
We’re dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
We’re dancing with the dead
We’re dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
Dance with the skeletons
There’s nothing left
Dance with the skeletons
Gasp out for breath
We were raised up by the end
Generation death!
We were raised up by the end
We’re dead ends
We’re dead ends
