Shadows on the Wall

[Intro]

*Unintelligible speaking*

[Verse 1]

In a desert valley, near the Rio Grande

Through the sun baked wasteland, across the burning sand

On the edge of nowhere, in a hidden place

They were looking for an answer, to the power of the sun

[Pre-Chorus]

From out of the skies 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

[Chorus]

Where is the city?

Where are the people?

There's only shadows on the wall

There is no city

There are no people

There's only shadows on the wall

[Verse 2]

There were children were playing in Los Alamos

Nuclear fusion, critical mass

Start a chain reaction, build the doomsday toy

Split the tiny atom, your little boy

[Pre-Chorus]

From out of the skies 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

A mighty city just blown away

Like dust before a storm

[Chorus]

Where is the city?

Where are the people?

There's only shadows on the wall

There is no city

There are no people

There's only shadows on the wall

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

On a clear blue morning, of the fateful 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

[Chorus]

Where is the city? (Where is the city?)

Where are the people? (Where are the people?)

There's only shadows on the wall

Where is the city? (Where is the city?)

Where are the people? (Where are the people?)

There's only shadows on the wall (Shadows on the wall)

There is no city (There is no city)

There are no people (There are no people)

There's only shadows on the wall

[Outro]

*Sounds of children*
