Ghost of Hiroshima
This song was written by Raw Umbers in 1975. LYRICS:Ghost of Hiroshima, you come knocking on my door,you make requests for lives only God can restore.Rising out of the ashes,Sliding on the gore,Sunken eyes in bald skulls,don't ask me anymore.You see, i wasn't born yet, in 1945.But memories of that August day still seem to survive.You never saw our great bomb, on the hour it arrived.Even if you had I doubt you'd still be alive.Can you tell me what it was likebeneath the flashing burning light?Did you see our country, in all of its might?Your shadows started forming as the morning turned to night,on the sidewalks of your city,an ungodly sight.As a tragedy, it wasn't much,no millions were lost,we had to save our young boys, no matter what the cost.We thanked your nation with dollars,and on your graves we tossed,200,000 leaflets and a single holocaust.Slanted eyes and yellow skin, you were an easy race to hate.So the horrors of your death, you see, weren't too tough to relate. Impatience and fear quickly sealed your fate.Should've stopped it sooner, but now,it's not too late.
