Intro: C majorC

C majorC
Hail the blest atomic morn
Unto the earth a bomb is born
  A minorAm
The pebble bed reactor core
Up to the sky ascends.

C majorC
Hail the blest atomic sea,
Its mouth in Oak Ridge, Tennessee
   A minorAm
Whose lips untouched with blasphemy
Our glowing eyes attend

C majorC A minorAm

C majorC
Bishops wrapped in Bedford cloth
Said pride would cast our victories off,
  A minorAm
The Deep Blue to our Kasparov
Our moral thoughts impart.

C majorC
Time will fill the rubbish yards
The Hospitals, the funeral yards
  A minorAm
But neither time nor I
Can hold your 1985 Chernobyl heart

FF
Brightest and best
            C majorC
Are the children of the morning.
FF
Dawn on our darkness
         C majorC
And lend us thine aid

C majorC
In unmysterious ways
We re-enacted closet plays
   A minorAm
From charming, Magic Lantern days
For the android whales below

C majorC
You'd be cast as the Nazarene
In the unrepenting desert scene
    A minorAm
Near to me, your Mary Magdalene,
Our Lady of the Snow,

FF
Brightest and best
            C majorC
Are the children of the morning.
FF
Dawn on our darkness
        A minorAm
& lend us thine aid

FF            C majorC
Star of the west horizon deforming,
(Too many humans under the brown fog of winter)
FF
Come dawn in our darkness.
       C majorC
Lend us thine aid

FF                 C majorC  A minorAm
Guide where our infant redeemer is laid
FF                 C majorC  A minorAm
Guide where our infant redeemer is laid
FF                     C majorC A minorAm
Come dawn in our darkness & lend us thine aid
