Stoke the fire, feel the heat
Flushing flame, watch it burn
"¦tonight
Send it up, pulsing light,
Swaying orb, watch it glow
"¦tonight
Through the black and to the stars it wanders
Precarious and clumsy fire
With the wind it flares and falters
Never to reach its one desire
Last night as the bombs dropped
Things got out of hand
You've sinned against nature
You've sinned against man
Climbing high, heaven bound,
Rising flame, watch it burn
"¦tonight
Sail away, hovering,
Fluttering, watch it glow
"¦tonight
Flicker fast you Roman candle, yours is
An unattainable desire
Helpless to the force around you, faceless
Righteous reign your devil's fire
Last night as the bombs dropped
Things got out of hand
You've sinned against nature
You've sinned against man
