Shadows on the Wall

歌詞

In a desert valley Near the Rio Grande Through the sun baked wasteland Cross the burning sand On the edge of nowhere In a hidden place They were looking for the answer To the power of the sun From out of the sky came the burning death Could anyone foresee The raging terror coming from above To erase humanity In a blinding flash came the fireball Melting skin and bone It was a mighty city just blown away Like dust before a storm There is no city There are no people There's only shadows on the wall Where is the city Where are the people There's only shadows on the wall Children were playing in Los Alamos Nuclear fusion critical mass Start a chain reaction Build the doomsday toy Split the tiny atom Your littly boy There is no city There are no people There's only shadows on the wall Where is the city Where are the people There's only shadows on the wall It was a clear blue morning On the fatefull day Silver wings of destruction The enola gay Unleash the awesome power Release it from it's cage Opening the doorway To the nuclear age There is no city There are no people There's only shadows on the wall Where is the city Where are the people There's only shadows on the wall
