Atomic Fire

I wrote these lyrics around 1985 toward the end of the nuclear freeze movement. Nuclear weapons are an issue that continue to haunt the world, though US claims that Iran has been working on a bomb has been thoroughly debunked. There was no good reason for us to attack Iran at this time. Lyrics by me, music by AI, video by Carol. If I had a band, I would call it the Middle Aged Poets Militia (MAPM). If you like this song, please like, comment, and share. If you know musicians, it's open for use. Lyrics: Atomic Fire Atomic fire, burning up the world Atomic fire, burning up the sky I turned to my baby I looked into her eyes I said, “let me take you through To the other side.” She lifted up her hand To my face, she said “love can erase us Without a trace.” Atomic fire ripped away the sky We heard the howling of the stratosphere We turned to each other without fear And we stepped into each other and disappeared. Atomic fire can take you by surprise And remind you that death is just a lie, But atomic fire, cannot conquer true love True love is real fire, and it falls from above. Atomic fire can turn matter into energy Atomic fire can tear the physical world apart But atomic fire cannot bring an end to misery Or open up, a closed heart. Real fire takes away fear and pain Real fire can keep you warm in freezing rain Real fire falls from above True love is real fire and it falls from above. Everybody’s waiting for fire to descend Time to decide if you believe in love or in the end The decision you make Will surely dictate What form your final fire will take. Atomic fire was invented in the world The worst fear that has ever been hurled Only real fire can burn away that fear And burn away confusion so that you can hear That atomic fire cannot conquer true love True love is real fire, and it falls from above. it falls from above. So turn to your baby Take her by the hand Realize it’s time to make a stand Stand in the fire that falls from above Nothing can conquer the fire of true love.
