Over the Korean Peninsula
Cold winters and burning summers
Ideological nations sent forth champions
And the two sides fought sky battles
With results uneven, ill defined
The Americans and Soviets fought
And former allies died there
Both tried to help finally decide
A contest between two sides
To force through a victory
The Korean war a war of brothers
Beneath a political reason
Burning with an ideological fire
The Bear and Eagle would collide
Two enemies trapped in stare
Each side supported their ally
In small but still worrisome numbers
If the world had known
The delicate peace would unravel
With a rush to nuclear war
That would surely end time
Both sides recklessly chose to dare
Not considering the final chimes
The clock would strike
5 minutes to midnight
5 minutes before we die
5 minutes to remain alive
The drums of battle resound
And they sound like thunder
