War never changes.I don’t want to set the world on fireI just want to startA flame in your heartSince the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God, to justice, to simple psychotic rage. The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and Territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower.In my heart I have but one desireAnd that one is youNo other will doIn the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth. Everyone who entered into the conflict expected victory. Everyone was optimistic. But as the hostilities escalated, optimism faded and society began to collapse.I’ve lost all ambition for worldly acclaimI just want to be the one you loveAnd with your admission that you feel the sameI’ll have reached the goal I’m dreaming ofIn the year 2077, the end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted. Too many humans, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, are purely mortal ones. The earth was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control. Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth.The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation.Believe meI don’t want to set the world on fireI just want to startA flame in your heartA quiet darkness fell across the planet, lasting many years, for man had succeeded in destroying the world. But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history. I don't wanna set the world on fire, honeyI love ya too muchI just wanna start a great big flameDown in your heartYou see, way down inside of meDarlin' I have only one desireAnd that one desire is youAnd I know nobody else ain't gonna doIn the early days, thousands were spared the horrors of the holocaust by taking refuge in enormous underground shelters, known as Vaults. The great Vaults were built to house the wealthy, the powerful, the influential and those deemed necessary to their survival. Inside resources and technology were stockpiled, a final defense against the coming holocaust. But plans were barely in place when the first missiles left the silos. During the destruction, communication between the vaults ceased. Entire vaults were lost; those that survived were on their own. With the past behind them and the present destroyed, they looked to the future.I’ve lost all ambition for worldly acclaimI just want to be the one you loveAnd with your admission that you feel the sameI’ll have reached the goal I’m dreaming ofImprisoned safely behind the large Vault door, beneath a mountain of stone, generations have lived without knowledge of the outside world. When the great darkness passed, these vaults opened. Their inhabitants emerged to begin their lives again. But when they emerged, they had only the hell of the wastes to greet them. Several of the civilized tribes claims they are descended from such Vaults. So the tale of humanity has not come to a close, for the struggle of survival is a war without end.Believe meI don’t want to set the world on fireI just want to startA flame in your heartAnd war... War never changes.</blockquote>
