- UNDER
THE MUSHROOM CLOUD
- And so the
juggernauts roared
- As the
firebirds soared
- And the
soldiers howled
- While the
politicians pleased the crowd
- And the
children screamed
- As the
bullets streamed
- And the
buildings crumbled to the ground
- As the
bombs rained down
- Pounding,
pounding
- Like a
heartbeat
- Came the
waves of heat
- People
burning in the streets
- Mothers,
fathers, sisters, brothers
- We held on
- Until the
final bomb
- And now we
are all gone
- Nothing
else around
- Only ashes
on the ground
- Is this to
be our destiny
- To leave
behind no legacy
- Only a
fading memory
