The universe shook the planets askew
Deep oceans ran dry no longer blue
The moon wept in anguish and pain
Thick black drops of poison rain

It started with one rouge nation
Allies joined in
Cruise missiles were launched
The war had begun
People in horror tried to run
Too late
As the stars came falling down

Radiated smoke choked all living beings
The bombs exploding
Ears ringing
Sounds of the dying
Sounds of the screaming
And the stars came falling down

Now ash and bone
All countries prevailed
Man exists no more
Only death's lonely wail
When the stars came falling down
