about

Track 12 of 13 from The War Came Swiftly
On the bombing of Hiroshima, 6 August 1945

lyrics

Toppling tumbling tactful the warning authored to caution a vengeance is coming the war machine thrumming these are your options cease and desist and withdraw your advances to your homes return or spurn this request hold steady your stance and watch the city burn upon Us the moment now tumult a portent spanning the threshold of reason or annihilation assimilate or face damnation where all stand aghast at the vision abate this onerous revelation over your nation one little boy vortically conjures a maelstrom with Pandora for a bride eight miles high when atoms divide doom is looming just beyond the rising sun end this now soon the gloom is broken by a light you can’t outrun cease to resist failure to surrender cannot ever be undone no delays to think the horrors of this war have only just begun cease to exist it’s come to this now fade to vapor and meet your maker hallowed are the shadows lying silent in the ground through the streets and buildings shockwaves ripple racing razing suffocating scathing searing scorching crushing leveling devils meddling beyond deafening this penultimate reckoning
