[Part I: Rust in Peace]
[Verse 1]
"Tremble, you weaklings, cower in fear
I am your ruler - land, sea, and air
Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall
A nuclear murderer, I am Polaris"
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My system's locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land, air, and sea
I pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of Hell
Will we give warning? Only time will tell
Satan rears his ugly head
To spit into the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
[Chorus]
Launch the Polaris
The end doesn't scare us
When will this cease?
The warheads will all rust in peace
[Verse 2]
"Bomb shelters filled to the brim
Survival, such a silly whim
World leaders sell missiles cheap
Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps"
I rule on land, air, and sea
Pass judgment on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of Hell
Will we give warning? Only time will tell
[Pre-Chorus]
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
[Chorus]
Launch the Polaris
The end doesn't scare us
When will this cease?
The warheads will all rust in peace
[Verse 3]
"High priest of holocaust, fire from the sea
Nuclear winter, spreading disease
The day of final conflict, all pay the price
The third world war rapes peace, takes life"
Back to the start, talk of the part
When the Earth was cold as ice
Total dismay as the sun passed away
And the days were black as night
[Pre-Chorus]
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
[Chorus]
Launch the Polaris
The end doesn't scare us
When will this cease?
The warheads will all rust in peace
[Part II: Polaris]

Earth's population loves Polaris
Eradication of
Earth's population loves Polaris
