Burning to pieces
Falling by the wayside
Shadows for graves
Children too young to die
Victims of war taken by genocide
Crawling down the road
Forsaken by humankind
Digging through the dust
For the bones of their loved
To remember how it was
Before the mushroom cloud rose above
Burning to pieces
Falling by the wayside
Shadows for graves
Children too young to die
Victims of war taken by genocide
Crawling down the road
Forsaken by human
A generation lost
Living in the afterlife
Sky so red
Blood dripping from their eyes
Dreaming of peace
Becoming a sacrifice
Digging through the dust
For the bones of their loved
To remember how it was
Before the mushroom cloud rose above
The first bomb dropped
But it wasn't enough
For the war to be won
Under that nuclear sun
The chemicals rose
Burned their souls
While the western world watching
From the comfort of their homes
Burning to pieces
Falling by the wayside
Shadows for graves
Children too young to die
Victims of war taken by genocide
Crawling down the road
Forsaken by humankind
Sky so red
Blood dripping from their eyes
Dreaming of peace
Becoming a sacrifice
