You see a fire hallo
The crown moon embraced.
You see the dark horizon
Nuclear ghost in space.

Broadcast the night sensation
Research of Lunar flights,
Nuclear detonation
Display of nation might.

Lagging behind
In Space domination,
Top secret nuclear
Abomination.

Visible fire,
Dark side of the moon,
Big mushroom cloud
Visible soon.

Blast for mankind,
Illuminated by the sun.
Blast for mankind
Destruction of the moon began.

Striving to win the cold war,
To be the first at any score.
Blast for mankind
As mean as never before.

US Air Force officials
They want big show soon.
Carl Sagan project's father
Doesn't want to blast the moon.

Proposed detonation
In 1959,
US was really planning
One big blast for mankind.

The mushroom cloud
Illuminated by the sun.
Huge cost to science
Destruction of the moon began.

Striving to win the cold war,
To be the first at any score.
Blast for mankind
As mean as never before.
