1. You see a fire hallo

The crown moon embraced.

You see the dark horizon

Nuclear ghost in space.

Broadcast the night sensation

Research of Lunar flights,

Nuclear detonation

Display of nation might.

Bridge:

Lagging behind

In Space domination,

Top secret nuclear

Abomination.

Visible fire,

Dark side of the moon,

Big mushroom cloud

Visible soon.

Chorus 1:

Blast for mankind,

Illuminated by the sun.

Blast for mankind

Destruction of the moon

Began.

Striving to win the cold war,

To be the first at any score.

Blast for mankind

As mean as never before.

2. US Air Force officials

They want big show soon.

Carl Sagan project's father

Doesn't want

To blast the moon.

Proposed detonation

In 1959,

US was really planning

One big blast for mankind.

Bridge

Chorus 2:

The mushroom cloud

Illuminated by the sun.

Huge cost to science

Destruction of the moon

Began.

Striving to win the cold war,

To be the first at any score.

Blast for mankind

As mean

As never before.
