Missile Crisis

A new phase of the Cold War, the year was 1962
The world could not believe the news, but all of them were true
Khrushchev and Kennedy, their nations in the fray
A standoff in the shadows, just ninety miles away

One misstep, one wrong move, could end it all
But in the darkest hour, one refused to let us fall

In the heat of the missile crisis - missile crisis
A secret hero rises - missile crisis
He quickly analyzes - missile crisis
And "Let us wait" he advises - missile crisis
The world was lucky, that he never compromises
In the heat of the missile crisis crisis
In the heat of the missile crisis - missile crisis - missile crisis
Missile crisis

A U-2 flight high in the Cuban sky
Saw missiles in the making, the danger-level high
In Moscow and in Washington, the clocks began to race
The world held its heartbeat, in death's diplomatic maze

In the heat of the missile crisis - missile crisis
A secret hero rises - missile crisis
He quickly analyzes - missile crisis
And "Let us wait" he advises - missile crisis
The world was lucky, that he never compromises
In the heat of the missile crisis - crisis
In the heat of the missile crisis - missile crisis - missile crisis
Missile crisis

Thirteen days the world on the wire
As the oceans whispered tales of fire
A blockade, two fleets, and on the shore
People fearfully awaited - the atomic war

Back-channel talks and letters written in haste,
Diplomats moved swiftly, no time to waste.
A deal was struck, a promise was made
The missiles would be pulled and the fear would slowly fade
Slowly fade

In the heat of the missile crisis - missile crisis
A secret hero rises - missile crisis
He quickly analyzes - missile crisis
And "Let us wait" he advises - missile crisis
The world was lucky, that he never compromises
In the heat of the missile crisis - missile crisis
Missile crisis - missile crisis - missile crisis
