Trinity

I sit here quietly on my tower and feel within me latent power A few short months I've been alive and now my time it does arrive I've not much time to contemplate on my existence and my fate The time is near to meet my end All alone and with no friend My birth was two thousand miles away where scientists in their labs did play My power comes from within the Earth and many failures precede my birth Of siblings I have had so many They all failed, now there aren't any I am the first one of my kind Alone I am, but I don't mind I sit here in the desert sun my final task has now begun My masters wait five miles away and soon, to them, I'll have my say They wait in silent expectation I am the saviour of their nation It is my God given mission to end a conflict of attrition If I perform as I'm expected a great wrong will be corrected This great task that I'll perform will restore the world to the norm The signal comes, my time's at hand I now obey my last command I gather up my vast resources and release titanic forces I feel a fire within my heart the final process now does start The time has come, all will be well I'll now release the fires of hell The pressure builds beyond belief soon will come a great relief I glow with radiative power Now has come my finest hour I burst apart in a vast explosion followed by vacuum implosion Above me hangs my great death shroud A huge expanding mushroom cloud
