Polonium (Po) [SSC3,Poland]

[Verse 1] In the lab a whisper, on the table high, (on the table high) An element encrypted, beneath the Paris sky (beneath the Paris sky) Curie's eyes were searching, for truth that underlies (that underlies) A new metal shining, Polonium's rise. (Polonium's rise) [Pre-Chorus] With electrons dashing, around a nucleus tight, (a nucleus tight) A heavy heart, eighty-four protons alight. (protons alight) [Chorus] Oh, Polonium, keeper of alchemy's door, (alchemy's door) Highly unstable, a metal unexplored. (unexplored) Half-life of days, alpha decay's core, (decay's core) Your secrets, Madame Curie, ardently implored. (ardently implored) [Verse 2] From pitchblende's bosom, with radium's trace, (with radium's trace) She coaxed you gently, out from hiding's embrace. (hiding's embrace) The spark of your atoms, a radiance you cast, (a radiance you cast) The fleeting moments, each one your last. (each one your last) [Pre-Chorus] When bismuth's bombarded by neutrons in flight, (neutrons in flight) You form in the lab, a shimmering knight. (a shimmering knight) [Chorus] Oh, Polonium, mystery eighty-four, (eighty-four) A momentary marvel, yet forevermore. (forevermore) Vital for missions, to celestial shore, (celestial shore) In satellites and spacecraft, your heat we adore. (we adore) [Bridge] In your isotopic symphony, we found a clue, (we found a clue) Of forces that bind, and the energies accrue. (energies accrue) Marie saw deeper in the heart of Po, (heart of Po) Polonium's story, for all to know. (for all to know) [Verse 3] Rare and precious, yet deadly you stand, (you stand) A part of the legacy, Curie's command. (Curie's command) A tool for warming, a journey inside, (a journey inside) Calculating our cosmos, as guides you provide. (you provide) [Pre-Chorus] Your alpha particles unveiled the life's thread, (life's thread) Mapping genetics, where none dared to tread. (dared to tread) [Chorus] Oh, Polonium, though hazards galore, (hazards galore) Your wonders harnessed, with knowledge soar. (knowledge soar) In the grasp of science, we handle with awe, (with awe) Respected and used, within nature's law. (nature's law) [Outro] So here's to the dance, of particle and wave, (particle and wave) To Marie, who sought, what we sought to save. (sought to save) In history's tome, a chapter her own, (her own) Named for Polska's memory, a new element is born—— [Violin Soars] [Powerful Chorus] [Haunting violin solo] [Violin Instrumental] [Outro] So here's to the dance, of particle and wave, (particle and wave) To Marie, who sought, what we sought to save. (sought to save) In history's tome, a chapter her own, (her own) Named for Polska's memory, a new element is born—— [end]
