Atomic Power - Uncle Tupelo

Do you fear this man’s invention

That they call atomic power?

We all in great confusion

Do we know the time or hour?

When a terrible explosion

May rain down upon our land

Leavin' horrible destruction

Blottin' 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 falls

There is a shieldin' 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?
