'39
|
Europe's plains
|
Blood and fire spill again.
|
Warring forces set their cause.
|
The race for fission had begun.
|
|
Powers of destruction sought,
|
Hidden by the hand of God.
|
Took six years to conceive,
|
Construct, deploy, and now destroy.
|
|
Burning sky. Say goodbye to the rising sun.
|
In a mushroom cloud. Heaven knows what we've begun.
|
Firestorm, earth consumed with a fervent heat.
|
Power loosed, now we cannot kill this beast.
|
|
'45
|
Pacific isle,
|
A bird flies out before the dawn.
|
Oppenheimer's legacy is carried by Enola Gay.
|
|
Many sons owe their thanks
|
To the heroes of that day.
|
But victory was bittersweet,
|
As many blameless were swept away.
|
|
Burning sky. Say goodbye to the rising sun.
|
In a mushroom cloud. Heaven knows what we've begun.
|
Firestorm, earth consumed with a fervent heat.
|
Power loosed, now we cannot kill this beast.
|
|
Hell on earth had been released.
