1. The clock freeze, time deforms

They show 11.58.

"Jupiters" that in Turkey

Aim at Moscow.

The Soviet "SS-4"

Are hiding in San Kristobal.

Panic among the leaders.

The world is on the edge,

Cuban blockade…

Bridge:

Ten minutes for crying,

While flying hell missiles.

Armed forces, high alert,

US and Warsaw Pact.

Politicians are lying.

Their hope is sweet missiles.

Mankind is awaiting

Last moments of its life.

Chorus 1:

This is total madness.

This is day of sadness.

It's the time of crisis,

Fear rising, compromising.

These are days of liars,

Nuclear desire,

Games with the missiles.

Anger rising, terrorizing

2. Khrushev and Kennedy

And finally they get in touch.

"We should not pull both sides

The rope with the knot of war".

The military men

Can not stop provocations plans.

The provocation didn't succeed,

The common sense prevails.

No war began.

Chorus 2:

Time for madness. Confrontation,

Confrontation of the nations.

Time for madness.

Escalation, domination...

It's a crisis. Time for madness.

It's a crisis of the nations.

Escalation, domination.

False temptation...

Chorus 1

INSOMNIA

Insomnia plays with the moon

And grows deep inside.

The strings of pain

Transfix frail world,

Damn never open minds.

The angel silent, is on guard,

But one can over watch.

Damocles sword

Changes the time

In misty deepest night.

3. The compromise verdict

Didn't not comply with anyone.

The Soviets are displeased

And Pentagon is too.

Fidel thinks that the Soviets

Have betrayed their Cuban friends.

Mankind escaped the great

Fatal catastrophe...

Cold war goes on.

Chorus 3:

It's a crisis.

Time for madness.

It's a crisis

Of the nations.

Escalation,

Domination.

False temptation...

Bridge
