In the Bible we are told in that ancient lore of old How the world was destroyed by the flood There was so much sin and vice, all the people lost their lives For the Master had demanded his toll In that same old ancient lore, there's a story I deplore That the world will be destroyed again some time Fire and brimstone so they say, will take all our lives away When that atom bomb's placed on the firing line So you'd better brush the dust from that old Bible And look up to the stars when they shine You'd better seek the solace from your Savior When that atom bomb's placed on the firing line If our statesmen only knew what this world is coming to They would never let war be their goal For the world is lost in sin all because of wicked men And the atom bomb will take every soul. So you'd better brush the dust from that old Bible And look up to the stars when they shine You'd better seek the solace of your Savior When that atom bomb's placed on the firing line There'll be no more smoke upon the water There'll be no more fightin' in the sky It all will happen in one awful moment And every livin' thing on earth will die There'll be no farewells to our loved ones There'll be no time for sayin' goodbye It all will happen in one awful moment When that atom bomb's placed on the firing line So you'd better brush the dust from that old Bible And look up to the stars when they shine You'd better seek the solace from your Savior When that atom bomb's placed on the firing line
