about

Found out that the building I was working at in NYC was where the Manhattan Project got its name.

lyrics

Enrico and the boys are building deadly toys / And harvesting the apples of the sun / They split them open wide to find out what's inside / And in their dreams they're planting as they run // It's heavy water cold and secrets are untold / And dirty work that takes a steady hand / The field is never seen hidden like a dream / While need to know is carving up the land. // Edward, Arthur, John, turn and they have gone / Desperation calls them into place / For work without a name, they'll rearrange the game / And all become the man without a face. // Radiation burns and calls to take a turn / In service to the holy atom grail / Our best minds disappear behind a wall of fear / And learn to grab the dragon by the tail. // Solo // Your neutron firelight is burning up the night / A spark that once lit never deigns to die / The raven calls your name and then it spreads the fame / Growing like a mushroom in the sky // All those who yearn to know just how far it can go / Without the burden of a civil choice / Are gathering the tools to violate the rules / To steal the fire, then to give it voice. // Fat Man, Little Boy, Armageddon's toys, scientific sealing wax and string / The truth has broken down to seed the zero ground / With mushrooms in a poisoned fairy ring. // Radiation burns, will we ever learn / In service to the holy atom grail / Our future disappears behind a wall of fear / we've got much more than just a dragon's tail. // Enrico and the boys are building deadly toys and stealing poisoned apples from the sun.
