New Morning Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

One morn I awakened, a new sun was risin' 

A sky was a kingdom all covered in blood 

The moon and the stars were troops that lay conquered 

Like fruit left to wither, poor spiritual food 

And the spears of the bright sun, all brave with its conquest 

Did hover unearthly with banners of fire 

I knelt 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 

Let there be no sadness, no sorrow 

There'll be no road too narrow 

Therell be a new day and its today 

(Ah, yes it's today) 

For us 

I thank you for giving this bright new morning 

So steeped seemed the evening in darkness and blood 

Let there be no sadness, no sorrow 

There'll be no road too narrow 

Therell be a new day and its today 

(Ah, yes it's today) 

For us
