Hibakusha Lyrics


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!
