Atom Angel - Waltari

He’s pointing out his hand

Towards a brightness in the sky

Reflected by the light

Rising high above the night

Standing on the deck

The figure’s dimly to be seen

Scared and weak and proud

His restless feet are tapping

Hello you flaming land

Here comes an angel with a sword

You real flaming land

A salvation?

— you can think so

The boat slips silently

Into the arms of the desert wall

Drying of its strengh

A salvation of soul?

Hello you flaming land

Here comes an angel with a sword

You real flaming man

Atom angel with a smile

Hello you flaming land

Hello you flaming land

(you can think so)

Hello you flaming land

Here comes an angel with a sword

You real flaming man

Atom angel with a smile

Hello you flaming land

Hello you flaming land

(you can think so)

I know what you saw!
