Track 13 of 13 from The War Came Swiftly
On the bombing of Nagasaki, 9 August 1945

lyrics

9th of August at 11:00 (in the AM) cackles Satan constant warnings culminate into the dropping of the big one tens of thousands in an instant rushing through a potent whirlwind suddenly they’re soaring through the air with debris all around them little did they know little did they know indeed old foundations wrought to ruin homes uprooted innocent men scarred in sclera blinded baffled breaking up like threads unraveled up above the wasted city sinister the cloud is rising from ground zero poison traces airborne toxic radiation little did they know little did they know indeed shattering lives there is nowhere to run this time everything dies at the might of this ungodly rage none can survive be it justice or war crimes shockwaves collide to awaken the atomic age sirens haunt my waking life my dreams at night are interrupted lives disrupted just above the fat man plummets savage comet I can hear the children screaming scared and Weeping crying faintly buried in the broken building helpless victims death is chilling little did they know little did they know indeed shattering lives there is nowhere to run this time everything dies at the might of this ungodly rage none can survive be it justice or war crimes shockwaves collide to awaken the atomic age the judgement came swiftly punishment overkill civilians found guilty remnants left to rebuild little did they know little did they know, indeed little did they know little did they know
