Manhattan Project — текст песни (Rush)

Imagine a time when it all began
In the dying days of a war
They always had before...

Imagine a man where it all began
A scientist pacing the floor
To build the best big stick
But this was something more...

Shot down the rising sun
When the chain reaction was done
Fools try to wish it away
The hopeful depend on a world without end
Whatever the hopeless may say

Imagine a place where it all began
They gathered from across the land
To work in the secrecy of the desert sand
All of the brightest boys
More than they bargained for...

Imagine a man when it all began
The pilot of Enola Gay
Flying out of the shockwave on that August day
All the powers that be, and the course of history,
Would be changed for evermore...
