Enola’s first born
Over Hiroshima-shi
Burnt off’(sp)ring
***
Dead bodies
Become Ōta's waves
The sun has risenBeautiful clear blue skiesThe birds sing their songThe sleepy city comes to lifeThe daily warning soundsThen disappears foreverThe city can go on today
Switch lanes, fast pace, different narrow streets
Different city, different veterans sleeping on concrete
Lone wolves devoured by group of carnivorous pigs
Heat-fuelled MACH, punches off the judges' wig
In the heat of the day
Toxic waste in the air
No children out to play
No civilization anywhere
