[Intro] [Instrumental break] [Verse] The sky split open like a scream A silent flash A broken dream Shadows burned where people stood [Chorus] Oh Nagasaki Where the shadows lie The world fell silent as the heavens cried Oh Nagasaki Beneath the ashen sky Your name will echo Time won't deny [Verse 2] The river carried ash downstream Lives erased like fragile steam The earth still whispers in the dark [Prechorus] A question lingers Heavy Wide What have we lost What still survives [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] Oh Nagasaki Where the shadows lie The world fell silent as the heavens cried Oh Nagasaki Beneath the ashen sky Your name will echo Time won't deny [Bridge] A thousand cranes can’t lift the weight The world moved on But hearts still break In every breath In every sigh The shadows of Nagasaki never die [Rap] The bombing of the Japanese city of Nagasaki with the Fat Man plutonium bomb device on August 9, 1945, caused terrible human devastation [Chorus] Oh Nagasaki Where the shadows lie The world fell silent as the heavens cried Oh Nagasaki Beneath the ashen sky Your name will echo Time won't deny [Outro]
