SIRENS WAILED
Sirens wailed
People ran row upon row
Far from the city and neon lights
To a hole in the ground down far below
To a shelter where people pray in the night
For forgiveness because upon enemy sod
We've trespassed innocent killed
Our way of life in the name of God
People deceived lives filled
With so much hate
We must repent
No time for Fate
Is near
We've spent
So much
Time and Effort
On the Ultimate Weapon
To resort
Upon even yet
Now the sky is so bright
Such a devastating bomb
To shatter the night
All eternity
Gone
Off the face
Of the world
To whatever place
It has been hurled
It seems such an insanity
That a little bomb so big
Could end humanity Sirens wailed
