Discover the story of the song > Dead Reckoning – Diamond Head

The lyrics are about a business man who makes a deal for nuclear war and thinks it's the right time to start a fight. His friends are waiting for the night to come and he reckons if it's alright. The war begins and kills children, but in the end, the business man is dead and everyone else is too. It's a waste for the tears they cried, and the protagonist reckons that he's dead too.
