Distant shadows Altitude low Sirens warning For the blow
Formations of superfortresses Incoming B-29s Hunters guiding Silver silhouettes B-San droning through the night Delivering obliteration The end of the empire is nigh Determined to bring the apocalypse Unleashing it from darkened skies
Napthenic palmatic acids Mixed with jellied gasoline The phenomenon of the firestorm Exploding incendiaries Most destructive of all weapons Vile product of chemistry Annihilation from the heavens Damnation falls on the city
Immense incandescent vortices Inferno's ultimate stage Walls of screaming humanity Consumed by the whirling rage Desperate mother's suffocating Their babies fried on their back Smouldering rest of existence Civilians carbonized and black
Two hundred thousand Burned, charred, and boiled Deformed carcasses Twisted and coiled Disintegrated Into hot soil
Gigantic pyre Of melted flesh Holocausted Reduced to ash
