Little Boy Lyrics - Hanging In The Balance - Metal Church

Mama, I'm crying 

Did the silver angel warn the earth 

From a blue sky falling? 

Father, I'm frightened 

What will happen if it falls again? 

Will you be there to shelter me? 

The little dot that falls 

A little boy, that's all 

That's all, that's all, that's all 

That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all 

Morning comes, I walk to school 

But something's in the air 

Things have changed, there's war at hand 

But I'm too young to care 

My home is a paradise 

A jewel in the east 

My family, they have seen the battles 

They're praying for relief 

Soon to be over 

My father, he said 

"The victory is ours, son 

We will mourn all of our dead" 

I wonder what happens 

When a world is at war 

In order to win does 

Someone else keep the score? 

I think of my future 

On this beautiful day 

How could I have known 

That the end's on it's way? 

The sky is quiet 

Just one single plane 

To bring destruction 

Has mankind gone insane? 

What happened to the land? 

Metal fused with stone 

Nothing remains, nothing lives 

Burned through the bone 

The sun touched the earth somehow 

Life melts away 

One city, barren wasteland 

A split second blaze 

The heat turned the men to shadows 

The sand into glass 

A master stroke of evil 

In a blinding flash 

Come on 

The sea of dead and dying 

Increases by the day 

For years to come we pay the price 

Of science gone astray 

The human race will pay 

A little boy insane
