Brighter Than A Thousand Suns... That Is Luminous Enough, Yes! ;)

I am not the biggest fan of Iron Maiden - but one has to recognize that this here is quite powerful. The mark of a great song is in its lyrics and the message that it vehiculates - while the melody, the guitar riffs or the concussions are the medium through which said message is driven across more effectively, for it wakes people up far easier than any other method...
And, here, it all comes together (especially in the video below) to properly drive said message across...

And the message is this:
It happened before (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) - it can happen again...
Most likely will happen again...

The message though can be lost very quickly on a rambuctious crowd at any given live event - for they came to see Iron Maiden perform, get their eardrums massacred in the process and party hardy... hearty? Hardly...
Whatever...





We are not the sons of God
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning

Shadow fingers rise above
Iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh behold the power of man
until we're ready for the fall

Knocking heads together well
Raise a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Yellow sun its evil twin
in the black the winds deliver him
We will split our souls within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns

Bury your morals and bury your dead
Bury your head in the sand
E=MC squared you can't relate,
How we made God
With our hands

Whatever would Robert have said to his God
About how we made war with the Sun
E=MC squared you can't relate,
How we made God
With our hands

All nations are rising,
Through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan
Uncertainty leads us all to this
All nations are rising,
Through acid veils of love and hate
Cold fusion and fury

Divide and conquer while ye may
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we'll die
There the executioners they lie

Bombers launch with no recall
Minutes warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won’t have the time to cry

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the darkness,
Out of the darkness,
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousands suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
