On that day was the sky blue Many men didn't know it coming A few men knew that the day don't clear a break many have melted away
The city destroyed a little mass of iron On that day, the earth burnt to the ground The scorching sun, fighter planes high up into the sky Screams were mixed in a smoke mushroom
Nevertheless The people lived through Nevertheless The city crept up Nevertheless The city lived through
The number 8.6 is stanmped in the city I want no more numbers fixed again
A mountain of black stiffs It was a night marish truth
I don't want it happen again
I'm proud I was born there I'm proud I was brought up there I like the peace and quiet of the town
