There's a shadow of a man at Hiroshima |
|
Where he'd pass the noon |
|
In a wonderland at Hiroshima |
|
'neath the August moon |
|
And the world remembers his face |
|
- remembers the place was here... |
|
Fly metal bird to Hiroshima |
|
And away your load |
|
Speak the magic word to Hiroshima |
|
Let the sky explode |
|
And the world remembers his name |
|
- remembers the flame was here... |
|
Hiroshima |
|
And the world remembers his name |
|
- remembers the flame was here... |
|
Hiroshima... |
|
(Hiroshima, Japanese city of three hundred |
|
Thousand people |
|
Ceased to exist at 9:15 on a Monday morning |
|
While going about its business in the sunshine |
|
Of a hot summer day. |
|
It vanished in a huge ball of fire and a cloud |
|
Of boiling smoke |
|
Obliterated by the first atom bomb used in the |
|
History of world war terror |
|
Such is the electrifying report of the American |
|
Crew of the superforce who dropped the bomb |
|
As a cataclysmic warning to the Japs to get out |
|
Of war or be destroyed. |
|
Hiroshima, the whole crew agreed was blotted |
|
Out but a flash more brilliant than the sun) |
