SADDER
SUN
It's
all so clearly getting out of hand
It
only takes a finger, to heed a fool's command
Be
the biggest, be the first, the best
And
sow the fears to put it to the test
In
the heaven's blue our star it shines
But
there's a sadder sun poised to burn the sky
Breaking
atoms is the truth they said
But
playing god they raised the devil up instead
---
Eye
for eye and tooth for tooth is wrong
When
it means we kill the earth we stand upon
And
as we celebrate succes we fail
When
there is no-one left to tell no-one the tale
We
saw the horror and the cries we heard
Pacific
islands lie as scars upon the earth
Skin
as paper peels among the screams
A
nightmare for us all to haunt us in our dreams
---
And
all are waiting for the horns to sound
Cellar
doors ajar, safety underground
A
guide will tell you how you can survive
Maybe
you'll be among the too few left alive
But
will your children ever get the chance
To
see their own children laugh and sing and dance
And
how to tell them when the sirens start
A
silent kiss away – how did we come so far?
