|
In a desert valley |
|
Near the Rio |
|
Grande Through the sun baked wasteland |
|
Cross the burning sand |
|
On the edge of nowhere |
|
In a hidden place |
|
They were looking for the answer |
|
To the power of the sun |
|
From out of the sky came the burning death |
|
Could anyone foresee |
|
The raging terror coming from above |
|
To erase humanity |
|
In a blinding flash came the fireball |
|
Melting skin and bone |
|
It was a mighty city just blown away |
|
Like dust before a storm |
|
There is no city |
|
There are no people |
|
There's only shadows on the wall |
|
Where is the city |
|
Where are the people |
|
There's only shadows on the wall |
|
Children were playing in |
|
Los Alamos |
|
Nuclear fusion critical mass |
|
Start a chain reaction |
|
Build the doomsday toy |
|
Split the tiny atom |
|
Your littly boy |
|
There is no city |
|
There are no people |
|
There's only shadows on the wall |
|
Where is the city |
|
Where are the people |
|
There's only shadows on the wall |
|
It was a clear blue morning |
|
On the fatefull day |
|
Silver wings of destruction |
|
The enola gay |
|
Unleash the awesome power |
|
Release it from it's cage |
|
Opening the doorway |
|
To the nuclear age |
|
There is no city |
|
There are no people |
|
There's only shadows on the wall |
|
Where is the city |
|
Where are the people |
|
There's only shadows on the wall |
