Divide! The Gospel of the Geiger Lyrics

Now let me take you back, my friends, to times long, long ago

An age beyond the wastes you see today

Long before our fate would see the shine of Atom's Glow

Long before His light had shined the way

If you all could come to fathom, that the smallest little Atom

Could a hold a million stars in His embrace

And those before us in their wisdom saw it fit to keep imprisoned

All that fission sitting fizzing with His grace

Then a schism started brewing – The beginnings of undoing

But we enlightened Atomites see beauty in their ruin

For within each tool of war we found the core of Atom's glory

And we launched him forth and saw him scorch and call the fallen to Him

Let's get some mushroom's blooming

In every Atom's light – creation

In each of us infinite worlds

What simple sacrifice – a nation

To see his radiant light unfurled

Now in every charged collision - Each division sews division

In each particle have heart! Though hard to see

Their society decided we were better off divided

And delightedly I'm inclined to agree

So pass the cup! You know you oughta' - come to sup that glowing water

For by Atom's might we swore to use their war to spread our order

Hear each crackle of the Geiger as his majesty inside you

Yes it's time to be united and divide

Now the scholar pouts and hollers and the scientist bemoans

Them physicists throw hissy fits and academia drones

Through laughably dull articles on theorems so farcical

That cast our martyred particles apart from Atom's throne

They'll say 'we've conducted studies!' They'll say 'we've the facts to prove'

'That energy's just energy – not blessed' – brethren you've

Gotta listen to numbers – trust the experts yelling doom

Put your faith into the data – last I checked that went KABOOM

You can waste your days debating – with their squawking and dictating

Or just praise each detonation – Leave them to their calculating

For their hearts and minds are lead, my friends, ain't nothing permeating

But in Atom all are welcome - feel His radiance radiating

Their 'Scientific proof' has them dreaming they're so bright

That they are blinded to the truth that we all seek in Atom's light

Radiation aint a danger, just purificating rite

What's some faint emaciation versus living a half-life

Yes them isotopes' the price of hope! I promise you will find

You likely won't see signs of growing cognitive decline

Eschew your fears – just shut your ears – take worries off your mind

Heck I've been here two hundred years! And gosh I'm feelin' fine

Bright eyed and ionised

In every Atom's light – ascension

In each decay we're shown the path

To every acolyte – redemption

For those who seek that glowing calf

Now in every charged collision - Each division sews division

In each particle have heart! Though hard to see

Their society decided we were better off divided

And delightedly I'm inclined to agree

Set aside those old beliefs and be baptised in glowing sea

Born new and clear and nuclear just like our family

In our bonds we find salvation – In our covenant covalent

Let us all reclaim the nation and divide

One blessed bomb in Megaton did set us on the path

And lead us on to Genesis – from Eden's aftermath

No confession without fission - come attend atomic mass

No creator without craters – Atom's Eve sure was a blast

His light it shines inside us – as in every bomb that fell

From fattest man to little boy we're all just mortal shells

Each encasing His creation stored in every dormant cell

As siren's blare you'll find our prayer in every warning knell

Divine in our intentions – Why we're spreading Atom's reach

Close your minds to their deceptions - time to fill your Glass and preach

Think you'll find ascension chanting lines the scientists screech

Well you've a better chance of meeting Einstein on the beach

They say a lack of purpose – it can make a person crack

Oh you'll do great with sad and worthless if you take to turning back

But those stocking stacks of bottle caps and hauling bursting bags

Shall find thee too encumbered now to ride that verdant stag

So forsake your worldly wares - well you won't need 'em where you're going

That Atomic clock's a-ticking – it ain't just hot air we're blowing

Faith's the greatest chain reaction – get our radius a'growing

The future ain't just bright my friends, it's positively glowing

Let's get that water flowing

In every Atom's light – convection

A warmth of welcome spreads to all

To every Atomite – protection

From those who would refuse His call

Now in every charged collision - Each division sews division

In each particle have heart! Though hard to see

Their society decided we were better off divided

And delightedly I'm inclined to agree

What power found us here o'er this most hallowed ground zero

Where my visions did appear – Of how division's drawing near so

Praise be Robert Oppenheimer as our Prophet up-on-high my

Brothers, come - The time is nigh - So let's divide

In the Fog we find the answers - and a modicum of cancers

But that's all within His plan so let's divide

Who cares what they have to say? We can just pray the rad-away

We'll all be dust on judgement day so let's divide

Divide

May we find salvation

Divide

For in Rads we trust

Divide

May we save the nation

Divide

From those not like Us

Divide

Well there's quite the payload

Divide

On this gravy train

Divide

Let us make America

Divide

Detonate again

Divide

Divide

Divide

Divide

Divide

Divide

Divide

Divide

Divide
