	Story Behind the Song High energy melodic rock. This song was written right after I read two books: Brighter Than A Thousand Suns (about the development of the Atom bomb) and The Old Man And The Sea by Hemingway. The song contains residual elements of both... It traces the development of the first Atom bomb, the ensuing Cold War and the apathy that has marked our society in years after. And then there's a bit of 'Old Man And The Sea' subliminal imagery added into the stew for good measure. Lyrics We set the fuse to burning brighter than anything pulled the sun through the eye of a needle I guess it's just in the nature of people then we perfected darkness in our twisted way darker than a deserted highway colder than a desert night in a hard freeze I'm more tired than I've ever been I had hoped it had all been a dream That's how it seemed... The seconds are sold The minutes are spent No one's sure where the innocence went We have no rest We never rest content We needed the answers - or at least a hint And I want to believe it And I just want to leave here again And I want to believe it And I just want to leave this town... Where's the virtue in learning When we don't apply anything? Nothing's worse than the nature of people I try to push the image away Buying our cars, sitting in our Churches Watching our movies But learning nothing Because there's nothing we value I dreamed I was in that town... Where I could feel an offshore breeze But I havent seen the moon for a long time And I'm not coming back today For more stupid televised verbal debates We want to believe that we can't be deceived Bright moonlit clouds in night sky Flying fish leaping over the sea Every minute now is closer to home for me This is the most fantastic time of my life Forget this world is turning Please don't disturb anything Entertaining thoughts of intervening Is as useless as trying for a deeper meaning But I want to believe it And I just want to leave here again And I want to believe it And I just want to leave this town Leave this town...
