All Hail the Atom

We knew the world would not be the same
Two people laughed
Few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line
From the Hindu scripture
The Bhagavad Gita
Vishnu was 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

With this bomb, we have now added
A new and revolutionary increase in destruction
To supplement the growing power of our armed forces
In present form, these bombs are now in production
And even more powerful bombs are in development
It is an atomic bomb
It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe

Broken skies and blackened lungs
I can smell it in the air and I feel it in my soul

Confusion in place of logic
And it's boiling over out of the screen in my peripheral

We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered
Generating power equivalent to ten-thousand automobiles

It's not coming
It's already here

Fuck
All of your things in this world, it's turning
Strap up
Nowhere to run, it's burning
Stock up
Lock up
Everywhere is shut down
And you've ditched all the pieces attached to your crown

Atomic Fire
Raining down on your pride
When it's all done
Nothing's left, but a lie
So, get down on your knees, beg and plead
For, the end is nigh
All hail the atom
Good night

It's just outside
I can hear it, everyone has died

Yeah

I don't miss 'em, I wanna live my life
Compassion has never been in sight

And I don't fucking care, ha

With this bomb, we have now added
A new and revolutionary increase in destruction
To supplement the growing power of our armed forces
In present form, these bombs are now in production
And even more powerful bombs are in development
It is an atomic bomb
It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe

All hail the atom

Fuck
All of your things in this world, it's turning
Strap up
Nowhere to run, it's burning
Stock up
Lock up
Everywhere is shut down
And you've ditched all the pieces attached to your crown

Atomic Fire
Raining down on your pride
When it's all done
Nothing's left, but a lie
So, get down on your knees, beg and plead
For, the end is nigh
All hail the atom

Fuck
All of your things in this world, it's turning
(We're all gonna die)
Strap up
Nowhere to run, it's burning
Stock up
Lock up
(So, live your life)
Everywhere is shut down
And you've ditched all the pieces attached to your crown

Atomic Fire
Raining down on your pride
(It's raining down)
When it's all done
Nothing's left, but a lie
So, get down on your knees, beg and plead
(All hail the atom)
For, the end is nigh
All hail the atom
Good night
