Destroyer of Worlds

Standing on the edge
I want to be on top
Thirsty for knowledge
I cannot stop
Vanity and pride
Did not allow to
See the beast inside

Oh, my creation
What will become
Of all the nations
During this war?
My child, be patient
Soon we will show...
Your terrifying form

Throughout the ages
We live by war
Everything changed
When you were born
They'll stop rampaging
When they'll hear your...
Your savage mighty roar

I must be the first
In this scientific race
The tension rose, and rose
With every pace
We must sacrifice
The innocent
Peace at any price!

Oh, my creation
What will become
Of all the nations
During this war?
My child, be patient
Soon we will show...
Your terrifying form

Throughout the ages
We live by war
Everything changed
When you were born
They'll stop rampaging
When they'll hear your...
Your savage mighty roar

We knew the world would not be the same
A few people laughed, a few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture
The Bhagavad Gita
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince
That he should do his duty and, to impress him
Takes on his multi-armed form and says
Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds
J. Robert Oppenheimer

Blood on my hands
Shout of innocent
Step to the edge
Death, turn the last page!

Oh, my creation
What will become
Of all the nations
During this war?
My child, be patient
Soon we will show...
Your terrifying form

Throughout the ages
We live by war
Everything changed
When you were born
They'll stop rampaging
When they'll hear your...
Your savage mighty roar
