Techno Sound Group - Oh Manhatten Lyrics

In the heart of a desert, under a secret sky
They split the atom, didn't fully know why
Dreams of peace, on a razor's edge
A world held hostage by a nuclear pledge
A flash that turned night into blinding day
In a moment, thousands swept away
A city's fate sealed with a single spark
Humanity forever marked by an atomic mark
Oh, Manhattan, what have you done
Underneath your streets, a new era begun
From Los Alamos to the rising sun
Your shadows stretch long, in the morning gun
We danced with power, we played with fire
Built our castles on a funeral pyre
Now we live with the echoes of that fateful test
In a world that's never known a moment's rest
Oh, Manhattan, what have you done
Underneath your streets, a new era begun
From Los Alamos to the rising sun
Your shadows stretch long, in the morning gun
Now we count the cost, in the silence we find
The legacy of a troubled mind
The race for arms, the endless fear
What have we gained but a world austere
Oh, Manhattan, what have you done
Underneath your streets, a new era begun
From Los Alamos to the rising sun
Your shadows stretch long, in the morning gun
So here we stand, where the future was cast
In the long, dark shadow that history has cast
Manhattan, your project, a Pandora's box
In a world that ticks like a doomsday clock
