Was this part of the inspiration for the lyrics of "Blossom and Blood" by a

You the mothers who sent your sons
Wipe away your tears
For those who fought and those who fell
Become our sons as well.
Yeah, I know all four songs on "Species Deceases" are commemorating the 40th
anniversary of the Hiroshima blast, but still....
Just curious here!
