The sun is burning in the sky

Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy breeze

Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky
Now the sun is in the West

Little kids go home to take their rest

And the couples in the park

Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark

And the sun is in the West
Now the sun is sinking low

Children playin' know it's time to go 

High above a spot appears

A little blossom blooms and then draws near

And the sun is sinking low
Now the sun has come to Earth 

Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death

Death comes in a blinding flash

Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash

And the sun has come to Earth
Now the sun has disappeared

All is darkness, anger, pain and fear

Twisted, sightless wrecks of men

Go groping on their knees and cry in pain

And the sun has disappeared
