Atom Cloud
Underneath the atom cloud
Birds were screaming, screeching loud,
Love lay low inside a shroud
I saw you eaten by the crowd
Underneath the atom cloud.
"In the shadow of the bomb"
A modern cry, our "on the Somme".
People ask where to or from?
I saw heaven
In the shadow of the bomb.
As the fallout passes by
Unconcerned the bodies lie
Burning and rotting: up in the sky
The sky looks down
As the fallout passes by.
