about

"The greatest way to avenge your enemy is by learning to forgive."
(Hiroshima survivor)

Dedicated to Tsutomu Yamaguchi, survivor of the two atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki

lyrics

Under a big blue sky
At Hiroshima
August 6, 1945

People and their busy days
Streets full of people
People full of life
Life shining out

To put an end
To an endless war
Some ¨wise¨ men decided
To kill even more…

For this insane task
They called a mother
Enola Tibbets, Paul's mother
And her unborn child, Little Boy!

CHORUS I
Enola, what the hell will you do?
Enola, are you whispering death?
And the world thinks of you in horror
As you, Enola, Paul and Little Boy

Plan the mission
With affection

(Takeoff sounds of B-29 bomber "Enola Gay”)

So with the whole family
Enola took off with Paul
Almost in labor of Little Boy
Flying to a fearful delivery

Her flight escort couldn’t be
More appropriate
The Great Artiste and
Necessary Evil

Cross the clouds
Quite a curious match...

When the time came
Little Boy was born
With an intense and blinding white flash
A deafening noise of a thunderstorm
A heat vanishing flesh and bones
And a flower...

When the sky burned
There was nothing left
But this was exactly the plan
To show potential scenarios
But the wise men couldn’t foresee
The future…

Vaporized instantly, shadows
Turned into ashes, pure carbon
Unrecognizable, scary spectres
Crying loudly
Hopeless people...

CHORUS II
Enola, what the hell did you do?
Enola, you, the whisper of death
We’ll never forget about you
You and your crazy boys

Fulfilled the mission
With perfection

What a frightening boy!
Congratulations, mother Enola
But let me ask you a question
Are you thinking of…
Another child?
