Intro:

Hail the blest atomic morn

Unto the earth a bomb is born

The pebble bed reactor core

Up to the sky ascends.

Hail the blest atomic sea,

Its mouth in Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Whose lips untouched with blasphemy

Our glowing eyes attend

C Am

Bishops wrapped in Bedford cloth

Said pride would cast our victories off,

The Deep Blue to our Kasparov

Our moral thoughts impart.

Time will fill the rubbish yards

The Hospitals, the funeral yards

But neither time nor I

Can hold your 1985 Chernobyl heart

Brightest and best

Are the children of the morning.

Dawn on our darkness

And lend us thine aid

In unmysterious ways

We re-enacted closet plays

From charming, Magic Lantern days

For the android whales below

You'd be cast as the Nazarene

In the unrepenting desert scene

Near to me, your Mary Magdalene,

Our Lady of the Snow,

Brightest and best

Are the children of the morning.

Dawn on our darkness

& lend us thine aid

F C

Star of the west horizon deforming,

(Too many humans under the brown fog of winter)

Come dawn in our darkness.

Lend us thine aid

F C Am

Guide where our infant redeemer is laid

F C Am

Guide where our infant redeemer is laid

F C Am

Come dawn in our darkness & lend us thine aid
