Magic Lantern Days Chords & Lyrics - Mewithoutyou

[INTRO C]

[C]Hail the blest atomic morn
Unto the earth a bomb is born
The [Am]pebble bed reactor core
Up to the sky ascends.

[C]Hail the blest atomic sea,
Its mouth in Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Whose [Am]lips untouched with blasphemy
Our glowing eyes attend

[C] [Am]

[C]Bishops wrapped in Bedford cloth
Said pride would cast our victories off,
The [Am]Deep Blue to our Kasparov
Our moral thoughts impart.

[C]Time will fill the rubbish yards
The Hospitals, the funeral yards
But [Am]neither time nor I
Can hold your 1985 Chernobyl heart

[F]Brightest and best
Are the children of the [C]morning.
[F]Dawn on our darkness
And lend us thine [C]aid

[C]In unmysterious ways
We re-enacted closet plays
From [Am]charming, Magic Lantern days
For the android whales below

[C]You'd be cast as the Nazarene
In the unrepenting desert scene
Near to [Am]me, your Mary Magdalene,
Our Lady of the Snow,

[F]Brightest and best
Are the children of the [C]morning.
[F]Dawn on our darkness
& lend us thine [Am]aid

[F]Star of the west horizon [C]deforming,
(Too many humans under the brown fog of winter)
[F]Come dawn in our darkness.
Lend us thine [C]aid

[F]Guide where our infant redeemer is [C]laid[Am]
[F]Guide where our infant redeemer is [C]laid[Am]
[F]Come dawn in our darkness & lend us thine [C]aid[Am]
