Hiroshima


1945
The year when no one survived
America threatens Japan
A warning - to resist is suicide
The Japanese refused to submit
Hindered by their honour and pride
Enola Gay delivers the warhead
"Little Boy" starts to ignite

Atomic - warfare
Is now imminent
Nuclear - winter
Deadly aftermath

Hiroshima
Sets fire to the sky
Hiroshima
Everybody's going to die

Buildings all start to crash
Crumbling into ash
Sixty thousand smashed
Flattened in the blast

Even then they refused to resist
After eighty thousand people had died
The entire city of Hiroshima
Was destroyed in the atomic tide
Radiation poisoned the air
A giant mushroom grew in the sky
Toxic fumes polluted the Earth
Ensuring nothing would be revived

Atomic - warfare
Is now imminent
Nuclear - winter
Deadly aftermath

Hiroshima
Sets fire to the sky
Hiroshima
Everybody's going to die

Buildings all start to crash
Crumbling into ash
Sixty thousand smashed
Flattened in the blast

There is no escape
There is no escape
There is no escape
There is no escape

When the missile
Fell from the plane
The blinding light
Brought endless pain
