The project from conception to completion
Magnetic separation of the isotopes
The formulas were created
By the greatest minds of our time
Despite the declaration of peaceful use
Magnificent knowledge will be abused
It is the balance and arrangement
That determine stability
A sphere of uranium
A new weapon of mass destruction
Detonation of explosives
A shock wave compressed the core
The fission of the elements began
Critical mass has been achieved
An enormous amount of energy
Relative to the material involved
Temperatures like the sun
And lethal radiation
The fireball shooting upwards
A light in the still dark sky
Creating the mushroom cloud
Thousands of people will die
Killed by the blast
A wave of intense heat
Killed by radiation
Your time of defeat
It is the balance and arrangement
That determine stability
A sphere of uranium
The darkest day in history
