Wartime – Atomic Bomb Dome lyrics

Faces erased by light
Endless cries in the night
Mindless men created our pain
Like a view from an insane brain

On 6th of August 1945 they dropped
The bomb and they crossed the
Line of human law and this
Sacrifice they called pride

solo: Stumpy

Evil power destroyed our cities
No imagination can describe this horror
Eyes were blinded never to see
These visions of tragedy

Chorus:
Atomic bomb dome
Sculpture of madness
Symbol of what must
Never happen

Radiation hits our nation
Ionized blood is running through our veins
On the bridge of shades
We bid farewell to our children
This was not our war
But we're the ones who suffer

solo: Tony

A new sun rises before our eyes
And a black rain flows from the darkening sky
Piles of bodies - mutilated flesh
We wait for the hour of our death

Chorus:
Atomic bomb dome
Sculpture of madness
Symbol of what must
Never happen

solo: Tony

What you use your high technologies for?
A science that creates new ways of waging wars
But some day this nuclear bomb
Shall fall on your homeland
And you'll dig your child's grave
By your own hands

Chorus:
