Shadows on the Wall - Saxon

In a desert valley

Near the Rio Grande

Through the sun baked wasteland

Cross the burning sand

On the edge of nowhere

In a hidden place

They were looking for the answer

To the power of the sun

From out of the sky came the burning death

Could anyone foresee

The raging terror coming from above

To erase humanity

In a blinding flash came the fireball

Melting skin and bone

It was a mighty city just blown away

Like dust before a storm

There is no city

There are no people

There’s only shadows on the wall

Where is the city

Where are the people

There’s only shadows on the wall

Children were playing in Los Alamos

Nuclear fusion critical mass

Start a chain reaction

Build the doomsday toy

Split the tiny atom

Your littly boy

There is no city

There are no people

There’s only shadows on the wall

Where is the city

Where are the people

There’s only shadows on the wall

It was a clear blue morning

On the fatefull day

Silver wings of destruction

The enola gay

Unleash the awesome power

Release it from it’s cage

Opening the doorway

To the nuclear age

There is no city

There are no people

There’s only shadows on the wall

Where is the city

Where are the people

There’s only shadows on the wall
