We were almost to the midway point
When we heard the first blast.
It was the first time I'd felt the Lincoln Tunnel shake
And I knew that it would be the last!
CHORUS:
Terror in the tunnel,
Fire in the hole,
Smoke on the water,
As we add to the death toll...
Faces all around me, pale,
Full of panic, full of fear,
Chances are but a slim few
Will ever make it out of here...
The frigid, greedy Hudson rushed
alongside our bus-tomb.
No mistaking eyes of death;
These people knew their doom.
CHORUS
Driver dead, a Volvo smashed
Our windshield into ice.
Screams resound inside the bus,
Caught in the Reaper's vise!
The shock of cold overtakes
Even me, although I know
This blow against the Empire helps
My comrades' cause, and so
I give my life in service,
I sneer at sobbing men.
They die, they don't even know why;
As for me, I'd die again.
CHORUS
