Lyrics
One note sounds like a light ray
One note sounds like a new day
One note holds all the others
Millions of colors, so one note is best
The last war finally ended with a huge explosion in Japan
Some of the liberated prisoners of war from Burma
Brought home souvenirs, like shamisen, which
Are little banjos with lizard skin resonators
It was a terrible bomb
All those perfect Japanese gardens, timber houses, paper walls
Consumed in the monumental roar of darkness; all those one-stringed
Musical instruments burning black, those delicate notes bending
But there's peace there, of course
In the end, all those in pain die
Quietly in the gentle arms of a shadow
And as ever, the sun rises
