Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - New Morning lyrics

One morn I awakened

A new sun was shining

The sky was a Kingdom

All covered in blood

The moon and the stars

Where the troops that lay conquered

Like fruit left to wither

Poor spiritual food

And the spears of bright sun

All brave with it conquest

Did hover unearthly

In banners of fire

I kneit in the garden

Awash with the dawning

And a voice came so brightly

I covered my eyes

Thank you for giving

This bright new morning

So steeped seemed the evening

In darkness and blood

There'll be no sadness

There'll be no sorrow

There'll be no road too narrow

There'll be a new day

And it's today

For us
