Run through forests on a hot Summer day
Trying to break down walls of numbing pain
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Taste the water from a stream of running death
Eat the apple and cough a dying breath
Feel the sun burning through your black skin
Pour me into a hole, inform my next of kin
Run through graveyards on a dusty Winter day
Spit the dirt out and try to say
Trying to break down walls of numbing pain
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Taste the water from a stream of running death
Eat the apple and cough a dying breath
Feel the sun burning through your black skin
Pour me into a hole, inform my next of kin
Run through graveyards on a dusty Winter day
Spit the dirt out and try to say

Having watched "Threads" recently (worth a watch if you're not from Sheffield) and being a huge fan of the "Fallout" series this evokes some powerful and desolate images of a world beyond the edge of decay.
I love how certain lines start so positively e.g. "taste the water from a stream...", which immediately conjures images of crystal clear water over smooth pebbles halfway up a mountain; then "of running death". Thanks Steven. Trés cheerful. Cheerful no, poignant yes. I love it.
