the first blossom of this atomic age. I sort of read this as the first blossom being the landfills -- maybe this should be reworded, or maybe not.

smashed your factories;
still, you did not understand.
You fix your eyes on the ground, 
recycling your waste—while I pulse Comma instead of em dash, perhaps? Not unrelated thoughts.
like the sun with power beyond "with a power", perhaps? sounds more stately (although sort of cliched, I suppose)
fossil fuels. I am I half-read this as "I am fossil fuels", which is sort of appropriate -- I mean, Godzilla's basically just a living fossil, and here he's talking about being fuel to the world, so....Oh, and with the other half as a sort of half-divine statement (I feel "who I am" being suggested by that end). Really, really, really love this line.
the great lizard that walks Since the lizard is already very human here, why not "who" instead of "that"?
on you. I see your lips move Walks on us? sounds, er, too ironic compared to everything else.
in noiseless supplication,
hear my name—seconds late, The lips hear his name? Maybe "then I hear my name". I'm impartial to the em dash here, though perhaps it's because I don't see what the name syncs to.
out of sync. It is to me you pray. Nice ending! With the great "I am" of before, I'm really getting a strong Messianic vibe here, which is awesome! A very fresh perspective on a titanic persona, for me.
