Grave Pleasures Atomic Christ
"First I saw the trees
Above them the dust appears
As a rainbow of moths
They climb a beautiful tower
It is made of the broken stars
Who have made their home there
Fallen far, fallen faces
Spinning their masks
And on the moon
They left rumours of war"
Followed from future to future he comes
The plutonium prophet of heaven
Clothed in the finest of fine white linen
A pandora's box of armageddon
He promised to illuminate forever after
And oh how bright his light will be
He comes in mushroom clouds of fire
And every eye will witness him
Oh hear my prayer
Oh Lord hear my prayer
Atomic Christ comes
Atomic Christ will come
Atomic Christ will save us all
Everything will be for the burning now
Tainted books and the faustian bond
He will come down hard on each damned nation
He is what we all deserve
He cuts up the bow and he breaks the spear in two
And his light will shine through you all
And his holy warriors of ancient fusion
Shall lay down his vengeance and war
Oh lord
Oh you hear my cry of war
Atomic Christ comes
Atomic Christ will come
Atomic Christ will save us all
Atomic Christ comes
Atomic Christ will come
Atomic Christ will save us all
Atomic Christ comes
Atomic Christ will come
Atomic Christ will save us all
Atomic Christ comes
Atomic Christ will come
Atomic Christ will save us all
(Atomic Christ)
(Save us all)
(Atomic Christ)
(Save us all)
(Atomic Christ)
