Nuclear Winter Lyrics
“Now we’re leaving”, Father says.
Our world’s falling through, and the fire spreads quickly.
All I hear, all I know is the bombs, and the screams that haunt the sky, as their ships sail on high…I fear to leave this behind…
Escaping, running, pulling away into our atmosphere, towards freedom.
They’ve destroyed all we’ve known, burned down our home, we must find another haven…
soldiers, disappear, through the atmosphere.
There she goes, like a marble falling, from my weakening fingertips, and I can’t forget this…the comfort that I’ve known
Escaping, running, pulling away into our atmosphere, towards freedom.
They’ve destroyed all we’ve known, burned down our home, we must find another haven…
It’s a nuclear winter, all we have is infinite space…
Our world’s falling through, and the fire spreads quickly.
All I hear, all I know is the bombs, and the screams that haunt the sky, as their ships sail on high…I fear to leave this behind…
They’ve destroyed all we’ve known, burned down our home, we must find another haven…
There she goes, like a marble falling, from my weakening fingertips, and I can’t forget this…the comfort that I’ve known
They’ve destroyed all we’ve known, burned down our home, we must find another haven…

This is when the hero of the CD sees the entire earth disappearing through the spacecraft window. He's saying the Earth is now gone, and Space is all that's left.
This person forgot a few lyrics near the end. "We will come back to take revenge for our families, for our world gone by. Enemies must Die!" This is a key to the seemingly meaningless lyrics to the next song "Idiocy."
Anyway, as for this song, it is pretty straight forward. They're headed to the portal at the Cygnus Northern Cross where a prophetic dream tells him he will find a new world. It's a great and powerful song about the corruption of the world and the desire to escape from it all, and finally being able to do it. But also the fear of leaving all he knows behind him.
