Hayden Thorpe - In The Green Chapel Lyrics




Ten tall thin crosses on the west wall

As a building of worship, it's unmistakable,

So too the nature of its god.

Its architecture is a marriage of function and form.

Elder and bracken thrive on outer walls.

Gulls build nests in control panels.

Our congregation numbers the gulls, the black-backs and ghosts who make today possible

And who raised their voices in song.

The lighthouse keeper, the swaying valerian...



Enough pieties. Who will take the service?

'I will', says The Physicist



'I speak only in equations as they have no correlations in the sphere of politics

Yet they alter the world they inhabit.



Physicists have long flattered themselves thus, I see you continue the tradition.

We are ready to bring in the bomb to complete its trajectory.

WE-177A - for this is the missile's name



Song of the bomb

The drifting song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the wren

The devil-bird's song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the spores

The drifting song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the hag

The sea coal song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the bomb

The arming song

The firing song

The song of the bomb
