Magic Lantern Days |
| Hail the blest atomic morn |
| Unto the earth a bomb is born |
| The pebble bed reactor core |
| Up to the sky ascends. |
| Hail the blest atomic sea, |
| Its mouth in Oak Ridge, Tennessee |
| Whose lips untouched with blasphemy |
| Our glowing eyes attend |
| Bishops wrapped in Bedford cloth |
| Said pride would cast our victories off, |
| The Deep Blue to our Kasparov |
| Our moral thoughts impart. |
| Time will fill the rubbish yard |
| fill the hospitals, fill the graveyards |
| But neither time nor I can hold your 1985 Chernobyl heart. |
| Brightest and best |
| Are the children of the morning. |
| Dawn on our darkness |
| And lend us thine aid |
| In unmysterious ways |
| We re-enacted closet plays |
| From charming, Magic Lantern days |
| For the android whales below |
| You’d be cast as the Nazarene |
| In the unrepenting desert scene |
| Near to me, your Mary Magdalene, |
| Our Lady of the Snow, |
| Brightest and best |
| Are the children of the morning. |
| Dawn on our darkness |
| And lend us thine aid |
| Star of the west horizon deforming, |
| Come dawn in our darkness. |
| Lend us thine aid |
| Guide where our infant redeemer is laid |
| Guide where our infant redeemer is laid |
