On second thought...

lyrics

It was hard to drive for the bodies that lined the open road.
She realized it was suicide to try and make it home.
The bodies stunk like burning like a flash of heat had singed the world.
The smell had mellowed in the hollow but it grew the farther she'd go.

Her home in the hill had been tranquil.
Her home on the hill had been peaceful still.
The woods and the road started getting ugly quickly
with all that mankind has designed.

She was stupefied and her sense of pride in her race diminished.
They had sacrificed every human life in their race to finish.
The irony to her it seemed was to her it seemed that no one lived.
Is power over nothing really something one would kill to win.

Her home...

Last one home shut out the lights, she turned around.
Ain't no sense stayin' up here when it's healthy underground.
Well maybe it's not the healthiest of situations there
but it sure beats me breathing in this radiation air.

Her home...

Her luck was the worst of luck. The tunnel carved in solid rock
the man had dug behind the clock had crumbled down and sealed up.
She shot the clock with the gun then shot the rock and shot again.
A bullet nicked her in the ear and finally she collapsed in tears.
