The Man Who Saved Us All

[Verse] Dark was the night sky Alarms were ringing loud A man alone in silence He stood against the crowd [Verse 2] Under the glowing screens His heart began to race A hand that could erase us He chose to keep our place [Chorus] Stanislav Petrov Saved the world that day With steady hands he chose To keep the fear at bay [Verse 3] He saw the warning signs The missiles in the air Inside the quiet of night He made the world aware [Verse 4] He felt the weight of time As seconds ticked away With courage and with reason He kept the dark at bay [Chorus] Stanislav Petrov Saved the world that day With steady hands he chose To keep the fear at bay
