Atomic

On the day we killed the earth
I held my breath as I bore witness
That just before the long repose
The towers rose and hung in stillness

And it made me think of all I've ever done
The truth is sometimes hard to swallow
Guess I thought my time was still to come
Til they took away tomorrow

We never learn
A single lesson
We're the walking dead
Following each other off the edge

On the day we killed the gods
I watched it on my television
When darkness filled the empty screen
I thought it was an intermission
