about

The WWII song cycle ends with this David Bowie-like rocker for Robert Oppenheimer whose ethics clashed with the prime objective to create the atomic bomb during the last stages of war when the allies won Europe and the Japanese were on the defensive.

lyrics

Imagine me behind your eyes,
Mercury falls by the timberline.
What’s to come from burning rain,
Looking at you I’m afraid.

Every heart full of life fades away,
Every star shining bright will decay,
Night has fallen, there's no forestalling,
Since the winds changed.

Before the dawn emotion splits,
A private pause then the fuse was lit.
Who seeks the flame, shall witness heat,
A change for whom the harvest reaps.

Out of the fog news spread swift,
The Rising Sun fell to the west.
Trumpets blow for sleeping souls,
Tell your heart I said hello.
