Story Behind the Song
Took 20 minutes to record and mix, one take...totally live 100%...song is about THe nuclear bombs dropped over Japan...it should be self explanatory as the listener listens to it more and reads the lyrics, have fun, and thank YOU!
Lyrics
I saw a girl of eight, just lying in bed,
Her face so motionless, her skin so red.
And everyday a paper crane flew by
To keep her breathing, keep her still alive.
And many more the western wind has done,
And now she's lying like the thousands gone.
It's hard to see the hope in dying eyes,
White like the day before they tore the skies.
Everything's quiet over the island skies.
War in the sea, no longer fierce, now dies.
Aces shot down, for the emperor's crown, for the glory
Die if you must, written so in the past, heads are rolling
But now on the land, there's born a new trend, a new death -
Metal by skin, fire within for his breath.
Now the beast's heading out to the east, through the sky.
And over damned streets, clouds secrete, snow so white.
A test,
A storm,
A life taking thunder for man.
It falls,
It spreads,
The death from within to condemned.
And there,
Day before,
Snow was falling,
To paint,
Mourning tint -
Heaven's warning.
One stunning flash strips the world of its flesh, bones soon follow.
Fire comes first, then poison bursts, and it crawls on.
Shadows on walls, left by those who are gone, still remain there.
Those who are dead are better off than the spared, living nightmares.
A test,
A storm,
A life taking thunder for man.
It falls,
It spreads,
The death from within to condemned.
And there,
Day before,
Snow was falling,
To paint,
Mourning tint -
Heaven's warning.
acoustic inter:
World is set afire, legacy is set.
Tested is desire, fate of war is set.
Winner takes the laurels, makes his story right,
But just look at the girl, look into her eyes.
A test,
A storm,
A life taking thunder for man.
It falls,
It spreads,
The death from within to condemned.
And there,
Day before,
Snow was falling,
To paint,
Mourning tint -
Heaven's warning.
