Mama, I'm crying, did the silver angel warn the earth From a blue sky falling? Father, I'm frightened, what will happen if it falls again? Will you be there to shelter me? The little dot that falls, a little boy, that's all That's all Morning comes, I walk to school, but something's in the air Things have changed, there's war at hand, but I'm too young to care My home is a paradise, a jewel in the east My family, they have seen the battles, they're praying for relief Soon to be over, my father he said, victory is ours son We will mourn all of our dead I wonder what happens when a world is at war In order to win, does someone else keep the score? I think of my future on this beautiful day How could I have known that the end's on its way? The sky is quiet Just one single plane To bring destruction Has mankind gone insane? What happened to the land? Metal fused with stone Nothing remains, nothing lives Burned through the bone The sun touched the earth somehow, life melts away One city barren wasteland, a split-second blaze The heat turned the men to shadows, the sand into glass A master stroke of evil in a blinding flash The sea of dead and dying increases by the day For years to come we pay the price of science gone astray
