Jacob`s Dream Critical Mass Lyrics

Critical Mass Lyrics


'39
Europe's plains
Blood and fire spill again.
Warring forces set
their cause.
The race for fission had begun.

Powers of destruction
sought,
Hidden by the hand of God.
Took six years to
conceive,
Construct, deploy, and now destroy.

Burning sky. Say
goodbye to the rising sun.
In a mushroom cloud. Heaven knows what we've
begun.
Firestorm, earth consumed with a fervent heat.
Power loosed, now
we cannot kill this beast.

'45
Pacific isle,
A bird flies out
before the dawn.
Oppenheimer's legacy is carried by Enola Gay.

Many
sons owe their thanks
To the heroes of that day.
But victory was
bittersweet,
As many blameless were swept away.

Burning sky. Say
goodbye to the rising sun.
In a mushroom cloud. Heaven knows what we've
begun.
Firestorm, earth consumed with a fervent heat.
Power loosed, now
we cannot kill this beast.

Hell on earth had been released.
