Grey Victory Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

There was light and atomic fission 

Swelling wind, 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 

Please build a future, darling 

With our bomb, cherish and love it 

For the sake of 

Earth bound kingdom come 

Come on, come on 

The undersides of fallen metal trusses 

Evil debris of human bodies 

Each window's glass shards pelted 

Secure confines, brittle collapse 

Neighbors lay beside each other unknowing 

Faces scorched of all familiar bearing 

Too few hands, wounds for closing 

Marred by thirsting 

Anguish, fear lamenting 

Here we stand at the door to gold atomic age 

Don't spoil your face as with worry 

Trust in, trust in 

Earth bound kingdom come 

Come on, come on, come on 

Oh, here we stand at the door to gold atomic age 

Don't spoil your face as with worry 

Trust in earth bound kingdom come, come on 

Come in it's all here, come in it's all here 

So come on, come on
