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
