lyrics

(NOTE: In these lyrics I have taken on the historical voice of people in wartime using the dehumanization of their enemy to justify violence against them. This does not in any way reflect my own views — it is a device.)


In 1945,
I’d been in that war for three long years
Dropping bombs on the Japanese
So that their sun would never rise again

Everybody knew the score
Don’t think too much about what you’ve done
Don’t think about the people you’ve killed
Just dream about your sweetheart at home

Shadows on the ground
A bright new sun in the sky
Nothing would ever be the same again

One day they came to me
Said we’re looking for a good man
Someone who’ll live in history
For fixing those yellow bastards for good

It was an honour to serve
All I had to do was fly that plane
Just another mission
Raining down death from the sky

Shadows on the ground
A bright new sun in the sky
Nothing would ever be the same again

The stars were so bright
As we rose into that beautiful sky
I prayed this mission meant
I’d be going home soon

Over Hiroshima,
I thought of the people down below
Trying to survive, just like me
Then we let it go

Everything turned to light
I thought that the kingdom had come
Now I had become death
Destroyer of worlds

And I will deny
That I did anything wrong
I just followed orders
But there’s so much blood on my hands

Shadows on the ground
A bright new sun in the sky
Nothing would ever be the same again

Nothing could ever be the same again
