Bombs Away Lyrics by Avant Gardeners

Avant Gardeners

2024

The Enola Gay's mission starts from Tinian in the Marianas
The crew has had their final briefing on weather and air-sea rescue
Only yesterday they have been told of the true power of the weapon they are to carry
The massive bomb has been loaded
At 2:45 in the morning - August 6, 1945
Colonel Tibbets takes the Enola Gay down the runway into the air
Beginning the six-and-one-half-hour flight to Japan
Over Iwo Jima, they begin the slow climb to bombing altitude
As they approach the target area, the weapon is checked for the last time
31,000 feet over Hiroshima the Enola Gay begins the bomb run
At 9:15 the bomb is dropped
The aircraft banks away at high speed
Just 50 seconds later, 15 miles from Ground Zero
The Enola Gay is rocked by the blast
[Explosion and Screaming]
I realize the tragic significance of the Atomic Bomb
Having found the Atomic Bomb we have used it
We have used it against those who attack us
Without warning at Pearl Harbor
It detonated with the same force as 15,000 tons of TNT
The explosion resulted in intense heat
Killing an estimated 80,000 people instantly
And destroying nearly every building within one mile of the Epicenter
We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war
In order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans
Killing an estimated 80,000 people instantly
(Killing 80,000 people)
(Killing 80,000 people)
