Atomic Power Lyrics - March 16-20, 1992 - 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 

Leaving horrible destruction 

Blotting 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 

Be prepared to meet the Lord 

When the mushroom of destruction 

Falls there is a shielding 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?
