The Mushroom Cloud by The Kyteman Orchestra Lyrics
Living on the light that once was given to us all
As fragile as we are we’re still surviving in the cold
We’re trying to explain ourselves and justify our lives
Now there’s no more need to wonder why
Oh what a beautiful day for us
This has been such a good place to us
Look at the trees as they wave at us
Saying goodbye
Soon, all of the things that I stand for will fall into
The oblivion I have ignored
I know that my choices are losing the war. My future
Ain’t soothing anymore
Taking my time to find out what it has in store
The bomb will drop right on my porch
Don’t fear for what I know to be sure. I’ll be vaporized
No surprises anymore
Oh what a beautiful day for us
We have been looking for ways to trust
Things will unravel the way they must
And when you see it it’s simply the greatest of things
You’ll be grateful the rest of your life
Truth is shooting us all in the face. While we aim to define
It we freeze in our frames
They say it won’t hurt us a bit so don’t panic when you start
To bleed in its name
Cover your eyes, don’t look at the flash. Pray that there’s
No such thing as hell when we pass
The morning light is leaking into the unknown
Absorbed by the infinite yawn
We’re home
All in all, we are grateful for the grace bestowed upon us
Our sins eradicated. It’s the end that keeps us honest
Our next chapter begins regardless, be it void or promise
The sun sets on mankind. End of the line. This is our time
[this is our time] Oh what a beautiful day for us
[this is our time] Smell the perfume of decay on us
[this is our time] Behold the light and embrace the rush
[this is our time] This is our time
As fragile as we are we’re still surviving in the cold
We’re trying to explain ourselves and justify our lives
Now there’s no more need to wonder why
Oh what a beautiful day for us
This has been such a good place to us
Look at the trees as they wave at us
Saying goodbye
Soon, all of the things that I stand for will fall into
The oblivion I have ignored
I know that my choices are losing the war. My future
Ain’t soothing anymore
Taking my time to find out what it has in store
The bomb will drop right on my porch
Don’t fear for what I know to be sure. I’ll be vaporized
No surprises anymore
Oh what a beautiful day for us
We have been looking for ways to trust
Things will unravel the way they must
And when you see it it’s simply the greatest of things
You’ll be grateful the rest of your life
Truth is shooting us all in the face. While we aim to define
It we freeze in our frames
They say it won’t hurt us a bit so don’t panic when you start
To bleed in its name
Cover your eyes, don’t look at the flash. Pray that there’s
No such thing as hell when we pass
The morning light is leaking into the unknown
Absorbed by the infinite yawn
We’re home
All in all, we are grateful for the grace bestowed upon us
Our sins eradicated. It’s the end that keeps us honest
Our next chapter begins regardless, be it void or promise
The sun sets on mankind. End of the line. This is our time
[this is our time] Oh what a beautiful day for us
[this is our time] Smell the perfume of decay on us
[this is our time] Behold the light and embrace the rush
[this is our time] This is our time
