Silent CitySteel skeletons of once-proud structures now empty and decayedMetropolis scorched,destroyed in an instant, all who dwelled erased Skin and bone vaporized, their voices silenced before they knew Just what was happening to their city as the mushroom cloud grew The unsuspecting city, now so black and cold No signs of life, just the smell of death Smoldering bones and ashes lie Forever to remain in eternal rest Instantaneous devastation Widespread immolation Ruins only now where once was life To play for its sins the city died An eerie silence now dominates this graveyard of the masses destroyed No survivors are left to question the megaton tactics employed If they had known just what they wrought beforehand they might have escaped But as death fell from the sky there was no chance, it was too late The unsuspecting city, now so black and cold No signs of life, just the smell of death Smoldering bones and ashes lie Forever to remain in eternal rest Instantaneous devastation Widespread immolation Ruins only now where once was life To play for its sins the city died Feelings of sorrow and remorse Fill the hearts of those who hear Of this wretched place of death Which fill them with such fear The creators of this devastation Did what was required There was no other alternative Peace was bought by the ending of life War machine stopped dead in its tracks by the crippling of its will The likes of which yet unforeseen, a more efficient way to kill The sound of wind and the scent of decay are now all that's left The shadow looming over this land is the grinning spectre of death The unsuspecting city, now so black and cold No signs of life, just the smell of death Smoldering bones and ashes lie Forever to remain in eternal rest Instantaneous devastation Widespread immolation Ruins only now where once was life To play for its sins the city died |
