Now, I Am Become Death, The Destroyer Of Worlds | Blackend Horizon

lyrics

I vomited on my creation and

went hand in hand with the demise.

While my eyes are dying i summon the night

and renounce the sense.

And while i broke the jar a soul emerged from the shards,

ascened to heaven and cried rumbling thunder as a new born god.

“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.

I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

(Julius Robert Oppenheimer, 1965)
