WOW! i never thought it was about the bombing--i always thought that was just another metaphor! whether or not it's about that, that's a great explanation, and it definitely fits.
...but then where does 'walls of jericho' come in? the walls of jericho collapsed in a battle that ended up being basically a genocide, if the history recorded was true....but that's just in the bible and it was so long ago, archaeologists can't be sure. anyways, idk if that meant anything. ...i just wanted to see if there was some reason why it'd be called that.
i thought the song could be kind of sarcastic towards god, rather than a kamakazi. either way, it sounds like it's about war/death/etc.
i don't know...that's far-off.

whatever way...awesome song.
great song.
Walls of Jericho is just a direct metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Jericho was a city destroyed in a great genocidal event, just as Hiroshima was.
