New Morning

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

One morn I awakened
 A new sun was shining
 The sky was a Kingdom
 All covered in blood



The moon and the stars
 Where the troops that lay conquered
 Like fruit left to wither
 Poor spiritual food

And the spears of bright sun
 All brave with it conquest
 Did hover unearthly
 In banners of fire
 I kneit in the garden
 Awash with the dawning
 And a voice came so brightly
 I covered my eyes

Thank you for giving
 This bright new morning
 So steeped seemed the evening
 In darkness and blood
 There'll be no sadness
 There'll be no sorrow
 There'll be no road too narrow
 There'll be a new day
 And it's today
 For us
