Description

It sounds like a sermon with a nuclear undertone - where faith is intertwined with weapons, and prayer sounds louder than an alarm siren. There are biblical images, man-made nightmares, and a strange confidence that “our people” will always be saved. Sarcasm seeps through the lines, as if someone turned on a televangelist against the backdrop of disaster news. And instead of comfort, only a cold thought remains: sometimes scarier than the end itself is the conviction that it will come “according to plan.”

Lyrics and translation

Original

Upon a Missile rode the Lord

Roaring Justice is the Sword

He was melting off the faces of the Damned you have heard of Noah's Flood

That Tale will pale against the Blood

Pouring out and boilin in Uranium Sands

Don't you know Atomic Power

Is just God's Celestial Shower

There are those that He has chosen and those that He has not

There are many who will die

In the Lord's Plan by and by

But it won't be you or I thanks to the great Caucasian God

I said Lord

Be thou near

Blot out everything that's strange to me everything that's queer

I said Lord

Don't be far

I am in need of a Friend indeed

The great Caucasian God

Does not the Lord abide in Texas down in Waco and the rest of

Every Israel that Hubris ever claimed does not the Lord abide in Prisons full of Men with Holy Visions

Don't the Lord abide in every Tent and Cave

Does not the Lord abide in Bunkers

In Rifles without number

In every Ruby Ridge and Rittenhouse and Home does not the Lord abide in Fear

In Tactical Gear

Does not the Lord abide in every Hellbent Soul

I said Lord

Be thou near

Blot out everything that's strange to me everything that's queer

I said Lord

Don't be far

I am in need of a Friend indeed

The great Caucasian God

I'd like to take a moment to talk with y’all about Death

There's a lot of folks who fear Death coming quick and swift in the Night

Taking away from them the toil of their Hands and the fruits of their Labor

But I say unto you today

That there ain't a crueler trick that Death has played on a Man, than to fool a Man into thinking

That while his Soul was indeed dead on the inside

He was, in fact, alive on the outside

There is a foolish Generation squandered all their Fathers gave them

They are running out of Time left to enjoy

They would kill and eat their own

If the TV told them so

So they're keen to watch the World burn just to prove a Point

And they say Lord

Be thou near me

Blot out everything that's strange to me everything that's queer

I said Lord

Don't be far

For we are in need of a Friend indeed the great Caucasian God

I am in need of a Friend indeed

The Great Caucasian God
