Manhattan Project Lyrics - Power Windows - Rush

Imagine a time when it all began 

In the dying days of a war 

A weapon that would settle the score

Imagine a man where it all began 

A scientist pacing the floor 

In each nation always eager to explore 

To build the best big stick 

To turn the winning trick 

But this was something more...

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The big bang took and shook the world 

Shot down the rising sun 

The end was begun it would hit everyone 

When the chain reaction was done 

The big shots try to hold it back 

Fools try to wish it away 

The hopeful depend on a world without end 

Whatever the hopeless may say 

Imagine a place where it all began 

They gathered from across the land 

To work in the secrecy of the desert sand 

All of the brightest boys 

To play with the biggest toys 

More than they bargained for... 

The big bang took and shook the world 

Shot down the rising sun 

The hopeful depend on a world without end 

Whatever the hopeless may say

Imagine a man when it all began 

The pilot of "Enola Gay" 

Flying out of the shockwave on that August day 

All the powers that be, and the course of history 

Would be changed for evermore... 

The big bang took and shook the world 

Shot down the rising sun 

The end was begun it would hit everyone 

When the chain reaction was done 

The big shots try to hold it back 

Fools try to wish it away 

The hopeful depend on a world without end 

Whatever the hopeless may say 

The big bang took and shook the world 

Shot down the rising sun 

The hopeful depend on a world without end 

Whatever the hopeless may say
