I saw on a mountainside
A city's life dry up and die
In a moment it was done
Etched to mind this unjust wrong

Hear the screams that never came
Feel that hate of atom’s flame
Slowly does my sight return
To see that all remains have burned

Watch the cloud float ever high
Feel the winter drawing nigh
Knowing this will be the end
Crying for we are condemned

All for dreams a man conceived
Ill-mannered thought driven by greed
Now the world must pay in blood
Sacrificing is bounty of love

Alone up top the world I stand
Become have I the last of man
To tell the future of this death
Silent ears that draw no breathe

Watching as we enter night
Blinded by this unholy light
Ending the pain and misery
The war that did not have to be
