lyrics

Years and years of hope
waiting for the chosen one
Finally the light has come
from the shine of an atom bomb

Bridge:
Self-devoured society
faces collapse of cities
As famine continuously spread
where melting homeless people live
So priests took their blessed axes
in order to get some meat

Chorus:
From the cloud came
the Mushroom Priests
praying for U-235
Harbingers of holy butchering
fighting hunger with
their sacred cleaning
The red mass
is about to begin,
they bring the offerings
A feast for the rich,
the Atom God laughs
Praise the Mushroom Priests

Inside the mansions raised on the ruins
the meals again leave nobody hungry
Out on the streets, the corners are neat
poor ones starving, can no more be seen

(Bridge)
(Chorus)

Butchery, Crosses
Radiation, Slaughter
The heart of a heartless city
is safe now for the spoiled kids

With the bomb came
the Mushroom Priests
worshipping the Fat Man
Atomic butchering,
god-active preachers
Feeding the rich
cleavers as crosses
blood as holy water
Cassocks and gas masks
Praise the Mushroom Priests
