“Brighter than a thousand suns” Iron Maiden

We are not the sons of God


We are not his chosen people now

We have crossed the path he trod


We will feel the pain of his beginning

Shadow fingers rise above


Iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh behold the power of man
On its tower, ready for the fall

Knocking heads together well


Raze a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Out of the universe, a strange light is born


Unholy union, trinity reformed

Yellow sun its evil twin


In the black the wings deliver him
We will split our souls within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven

Out of the universe, a strange love is born


Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns


Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns


Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Bury your morals and bury your dead


Bury your head in the sand
E=mc2 you can relate
How we made God with our hands

Whatever would Robert have said to his God


About how he made war with the Sun
E=mc2 you can relate
How we made God with our hands

All nations are rising


Through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan, uncertainty led us all to this
All nations are raising through acid veils of love and hate
Cold fusion and fury

Divide and conquer while ye may


Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we'll die
Where the executioners they lie

Bombers launch with no recall


Minute-warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won't have the time to cry

Out of the universe, a strange light was born


Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the darkness


Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Holy Father we have sinned


In the song “Brighter than a thousand suns” by Iron Maiden, many lines support my thesis that the atomic bomb was not necessary to use in the war against Japan because it had no military necessity, the United States dropped it mainly for political reasons, and it was inhumane to kill millions of innocent people. The title of the song represents the large, fiery explosion that the bomb creates because it is “Brighter than a thousand suns” and the sun is an object that is related to light and heat. In line 7 of the song, “Oh behold the power of man,” is showing the new discoveries being made in this time period such as the splitting of atoms and using them as weapons. In line 10 it says, “Raze a city” which the word raze means, to destroy completely, so to destroy the cities with each bomb and “build a living hell” to support my thesis to why it was unnecessary because it was inhumane. In line 13, “Out of the universe, a strange light is born” meaning the whole world is new to the atomic age of power because it is being “born.”



In line 14 there is a reference to the “trinity reform” which was the testing site in New Mexico, and then in lines 17 and 18 they refer to the splitting of their souls to suggest that when the atom was split to create the bomb, they also “split” their souls because it was evil; and it referenced the atom bomb being a “seed” because it only took a small amount of Uranium to make but it still did a lot of damage. Also, they sing about burying their morals in line 27, suggesting that it was immoral to use the bombs because it killed so many people and when someone dies they have to be buried. Finally in lines 11 and 35-39, the song talks about racing to suicide and “all nations rising” which means that the United States created a “race” to see which countries could develop atomic bombs of their own, and no one knows who will drop the next one.
