Beyond Skin Lyrics

On July 29th, at 5:29 am
The gadget turned the pre dawned sky as bright as the sun
As the first atomic mushroom cloud rose above the horizonWe knew the world would not be the same
Few people laughed, few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the lines from the Hindu scripture
The Bhagavad GitaVishnu was trying to persuade the, 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 anotherFew people laughed, few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the lines from the Hindu scripture
The Bhagavad Gita
Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds
