adam warrock - oppenheimer lyrics

[chorus: warrock, tribe one, & schaffer the darklord] x 2
and we came and we saw
and the city watched it fall
and we built underground
in the shadow of a cloud

and the ash and the snow
and the sun never showed
not its face not its warmth
all the walls fall down

[verse 1: adam warrock]
look upon my work see mighty and despair
heh so listen here
call me the king of kings
and i built these things on a dead angel’s wings
watch the clouds shattered dreams
as the embers and the steam
spread debris from the leaves of the withering trees
and the pretty people kneel
ash and statues deceased
the minute that light breeze
blows its way through the streets
i am legend
i am dinosaur [?] read
born like this
wrote a song like this
and it formed like this
in a palm like this
and it dropped on the innocent
uninformed like this
conduct experiments
we gather evidence
meet the city in a lab coat
every word i have spoke
captured on a clipboard
and archived to the records we go
we dropped the bomb thirty five minutes ago

[chorus x 2]
and we came and we saw
and the city watched it fall
and we built underground
in the shadow of a cloud

and the ash and the snow
and the sun never showed
not its face not its warmth
all the walls fall down

[verse 2: schaffer the darklord]
as we look for the sun on those first dire days
“oh my god! what have we done?!”
are not the words i will say
nay in my heart i always knew we were right
when we chose to display unprecedented nuclear might
the sights of all tumbled towers
gl-ss and steel splintered
night falls a never-ending december infinite winter
in the fallout i will callout to see who’s still alive
before we diagnose society too sick to survive
there have always been men to step-in in the event
when a civilization reaches the peak of its decadence
n0bel invented dynamite in the fear of its reach
to clear new sand castles first you gotta clear the beach
we will rewrite history
free of a biased hand not by a pious man
but by a man of science and
not by the bible’s plan though in that holy screed
they were right about the hors-m-n
though there were only three

[chorus] x 2
and we came and we saw
and the city watched it fall
and we built underground
in the shadow of a cloud

and the ash and the snow
and the sun never showed
not its face not its warmth
all the walls fall down

[verse 3: tribe one]
every man wants to leave a legacy
’cause we believe our destiny
is greatness to proclaim far and wide
but this isn’t how i want them to remember me
’cause i just signed my name in fire and flame across the sky
and the loss of life that will result is not known
but in the mushroom cloud i see the skull and crossbones
the ones that push the b-ttons
are the ones that watch thrones
and they’re viewing at a safe distance from the hot zone
and now the blood is on my hands i trusted modern man
they spoke of love but it was just another song and dance
they told me i was put upon the earth to leave a mark
but never did i dream i would visibly see the scars
and i say, “now i am become death
destroyer of worlds” the angel of the sun set
snuffed out every candle on the cake with one breath
my greatest mistake will take until there’s none left
