Grey Victory (1985 Version) Lyrics

[Verse]
There was light and atomic fission
Swelling wind and rising ash
Tide of black rain
Cement seared shadow traces
Reminiscent of their last commands
Instantly one thousand flames arising
Ill scent the burning hides surrounding
A settlement debased entirely
Enola gay had made a casual delivery

[Chorus]
Please build a future, darling
With our bomb
Cherish and love it
For the sake of
Earth bound kingdom come

[Verse 2]
The undersides of fallen metal trusses
Evil debris of human bodiеs
Each window's glass shards pelted
Securе confines
Brittle collapse
Neighbors lay beside
Each other unknowing
Faces scorched of all familiar bearing
Too few hands
Many wounds for closing
Marred by thirsting, anguish, fear lamenting
Here we stand at the door to gold atomic age
Don’t spoil your face with worry
Trust in Earth bound kingdom come

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Please build a future, darling
With our bomb
Cherish and love it
For the sake of Earth bound kingdom come

[Outro]
Kingdom
Kingdom come
