August 6 1954, we have deployed
the most powerful weapon in history
Clocks stopped and a light appeared
Lives burned, homes gone, families evaporated.
Some shadows remained as if to say,
we won't forget
and you won't either


For the good of mankind we said, this will save lives
Sometimes you must take a life to save one
Sometimes you must kill a child to save a father


All is righteous when it's not ours who are harmed
They killed us, they are demons
we killed them, we are saviors
