The Manhattan Project

lyrics

Curious minds that lead us to
Paths walked by no man
Vicious need to show a force
Locked in a theory
Anxious instict drives the unheeded
Hero to persuade great minds
To gather peaceful medicines
Or destruction beyond thought

Given time to dig the earth
Just to blow it away
Enrich the fiery alloys
To see a blinding flame
Moral compass, doomsday clock
Ticks and points to the north
Wicked game, minutes play
Midnight's a quarter hour away

Mercurial message brought attention
A seed of peace roots in the soil of war
Have you stamped a rumour
Or a dreadful truth?
A silence like a knife
Moral hands determine the cut
Murder versus surgery
But it's just a misconception
That you aimed this stab

Given time to dig the earth
Just to blow it away
Enrich the fiery alloys
To see a blinding flame
Moral compass, doomsday clock
Ticks and points to the north
Wicked game, minutes play
Midnight's a quarter hour away

The endless cave of human ambition
Reeks like a nightmare
Dreams weigh the hearts
Like a burden of megatons
You'll see

To bind our darkest wishes
We progress to tear down our dreams
We rip out the iron roots skyward
To erect this monument of
Steel hide
Artificial
Man made heart (man made heart)
Heaviest of elements

Solar eruption builds stairs in the morning sky
Small hours evaporate
As the sun rose too early
Illuminating every bone
In hands of Mizaru

The Wind it rips your soul
Through your skin
And flees this base
With your conscience

Public figures drunk on ink
Their tongues black with ash
Cannot send the warning
When the bottle is broken
And the sea between us

Given time to dig the earth
Just to blow it away
Enrich the fiery alloys
To see a blinding flame
Moral compass, twelve o'clock
As the Sun cracks the dawn of an age
Human race enslaved
As the future's throne's ablaze

Silverplate Superfortress
A castle in the sky
With the powers to claim this war
Through the clouds we march
As we sow a rain
With the shards of dead stars
