Everyday people, unaware Hell has arrived on mighty wings In its claws, the ignoble beast Grips the Little Boy A blinding flash in their eyes Boils the fluid in their skin Thunderous roar, ruptured ears As the fission ignites the sky Blastwave roils through the streets Pulverising everything Incineration plague upon the land Naught can withstand it Many thousand human souls Wiped from the face of the earth In a scalding instant of blinding ignorance and hubris Radium decaying Ionising everything Cellular malfunction Radiation poisoning Nausea, migraine Diarrhoea, vomiting Central nervous system collapse Their blood is on your hands You disgusting swine and vermin But all that's left is ash and dust and your interminable shame The ghosts of the past will haunt us forever Hibakusha! Gomen nasai, Hibakusha!
