about

The horror of nuclear weapons. No further words come... we can make our statements, but in the end are we doing anything?

lyrics

NAGASAKI

Who felt the heat and the oppressive silence that day
When so many people who lived there were all blown away
Forty years later they're arguing trying to sway
My opinion but all I can do now is quietly pray?

The tree stands naked, the child will die
Who stands blameless, not I?

A morning so perfectly clear, you could not see the sun
Such a beautiful day it was totally useless to run
Is this still human behaviour what have we become
In the words of co-pilot, My God: what have we done?

The tree stands naked, the child will die
Who stands blameless, not I?
And I hope and I pray, to live another day
And there won't be a party like they held for Nagasaki

A world safety balanced, destructive possessions its base
While talking of peace their examples are dropped into place
Eloquent inverted logic revealing two-face
Making their weapons, a spiral eliminates race?

The tree stands naked, the child will die
Who stands blameless, not I?
And I hope and I pray, to live another day
And I won't join a party that believes in Nagasaki
