The rumble at the end is the actual sound of the Czar bomb exploding...

lyrics

“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”
- J. Robert Oppenheimer

Once upon a bad time, we lost our innocence
Boarders bleeding darkly propagating indigence
Kindness overcome by fear of scorched earth relations
We dragged the heavens down to earth in our M.A.D. escalation

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."
- Ecclesiastes 1:9; King James Bible

Suicide machines on a planetary scale
Rigged to function if a human hand should fail
As if 200,000 deaths were not proof enough
Increase the yield a thousand fold just to call your bluff

"Mr. Khrushchev has exploded his 'Giant Bomb' in cynical disregard of the United Nations. By this act, the Soviet Union have added injury to insult: They broke the moratorium on nuclear weapons testing. They have raised atmospheric pollution to new heights. They have started a new race for more deadly weapons. They have spurned the humanitarian appeal of the United Nations, and of all peace loving peoples. They have advanced no solid justification for exploding this monstrous and unnecessary weapon. They have been wholly unmoved by the dangers of radioactive fallout to the human race."
- Adlai Stevenson, United States Ambassador
to the United Nations, October 31, 1961
