Uncle Tupelo - Atomic Power lyrics

do you fear this man's invention

that they call atomic power

are we all in great confusion

do we know the time or hour

when a terrible explosion

may rain down upon our land

leaving horrible destruction

blotting out the works of man

are you, are you ready

for that great atomic power

will you rise and meet your savior in the air

will you shout or will you cry

when the fire rains from on high

are you ready for that great atomic power

there is one way to escape

and be prepared to meet the lord

when the mushroom of destruction fallsthere is a shielding sword

he will surely stand beside you

and you'll never taste of death

for your soul will fly to safety

and eternal peace and rest

are you, are you ready

for that great atomic power

will you rise and meet your savior in the air

will you shout or will you cry

when the fire rains from on high

are you ready for that great atomic power
