Hiroshima

The blast begins its devastating wave
Nothing can protect, no one can be saved
The beast has risen, ground zero to the sky
In seconds, eighty thousand die
Hiroshima
Flesh peeling in strips
Not many have survived
Agonizing pain, the fortunate die
A hell on earth, no way to resist
Everything you've ever known
Has ceased to exist
Hiroshima
The corpses burn in piles on the streets
Their ashes and the fallout cover all beneath
We strive for war, not to survive
Humanity desires death more than to stay alive
Hiroshima
