She Dances in the Ashes

This goddess is malicious, dangerous
She fuels the fires of the human species
Offering us a gift, atoms splitting atoms
Some people accepted it, others did not
Those who did take the offer were wise
Seeing a power that would lead to orphans
Know, the goddess loves to see us suffer
We should doubt her gift's kind motives
She is queen of darkness, but not our lover
She is alluring, but she is not like our mother
Fire that breeds more fire, and energy
An offer that many could not refuse
With every disaster and ruin, an elegy
Our death will be as she will chooses
