Hiroshima 60 years later

by source: WLOE - 06.08.2005 20:56

On the morning of August 6th, 1945, an unusual new kind of weapon was dropped on the city of Hiroshima. Three days later a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

August 6-9, 2005 will mark the 60th Anniversary of the first use of atomic weapons against civilians. People and groups around the world will mark the occasion and call for an end to the nuclear age.

"The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, it has been preserved in the same state as immediately after the bombing. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind; it also expresses the hope for world peace and the ultimate elimination of all nuclear weapons."

shadow of a man at hiroshima
song lyrics 06.08.2005 21:38

there's a shadow of a man at hiroshima
where he passed the moon
in a wonderland at hiroshima
beneath the august moon
and the world remembers his face
remembers the place was here

fly the metal-bird to hiroshima
and the way a load
speak a magic word to hiroshima
let the sky explode
and the world remembers his name
remembers the flame was hiroshima

and the world remembers his name
remembers the flame was
hiroshima, hiroshima, hiroshima ...
