[Intro] [Verse 1] Chalk dust is falling like snow on the floor We calculated the hinges and kicked down the door Inside of the nucleus, a sleeping abyss We woke up the dragon with a chemical kiss The wires are winding across the white sand The absolute power, right here in my hand! [Pre-Chorus] The countdown is screaming, the silence is loud! We’re building a ghost in a mushrooming cloud! A fraction of mass, a cathedral of light We’re burning the daytime right out of the night! [Chorus] A pillar of fire! A hole in the sky! We shattered the atom and made the gods cry! It’s brighter than thousands of suns in a row We unlocked the heavens just to scorch down below! I gave them the spark, I handed the crown, And watched as the universe started to melt down! [Verse 2] The theory was flawless, the physics a dream, But equations on paper don't echo a scream. A chain of reactions we cannot reverse, We started a miracle, we finished a curse. The steel and the tower are vaporized clean, The deadliest magic that mankind has seen. [Pre-Chorus] The countdown is screaming, the silence is loud! We’re building a ghost in a mushrooming cloud! A fraction of mass, a cathedral of light We’re burning the daytime right out of the night! [Chorus] A pillar of fire! A hole in the sky! We shattered the atom and made the gods cry! It’s brighter than thousands of suns in a row We unlocked the heavens just to scorch down below! I gave them the spark, I handed the crown, And watched as the universe started to melt down! [Bridge] I am the reaper. I am the end. A message of ash that I didn't mean to send. The shadows are painted right onto the stone. We won the whole war, but we lost it alone. We split up the core... and we shattered the soul. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] A pillar of fire! A hole in the sky! We shattered the atom and made the gods cry! It’s brighter than thousands of suns in a row We unlocked the heavens just to scorch down below! [Outro] The destroyer of worlds, with blood on the page! Welcome, my friends, to the radioactive age! The radioactive age! The fire remains!
