|
A crumbling empire |
|
Where angels fear to tread |
|
Into the ruins of a civilization |
|
A society ripped to shreds |
|
No semblance of order |
|
To the world which I abjure |
|
Where the bloody blade is forged |
|
Am I the cause or the cure? |
|
Our destiny is soon revealed |
|
Battlestrewn no way to heal |
|
We spread the wings of failure |
|
For the world's last goodnight |
|
Downfall! |
|
In the flames of the burning lands |
|
Who claims to have the upper hand? |
|
Bonfire of the vanities and spite |
|
Like Sodom & Gomorrah |
|
Forsaken and alone |
|
Look how the mighty all have fallen, |
|
We reap what we have sewn |
|
When all the marble palaces |
|
Are blackened sacked and burned |
|
Will we understand man's ignorance |
|
Through all the lessons learned |
|
Our destiny is soon revealed |
|
Battlestrewn no way to heal |
|
We spread the wings of failure |
|
For the world's last goodnight |
|
Downfall! |
|
In the flames of the burning lands |
|
Who claims to have the upper hand? |
|
Bonfire of the vanities and spite |
|
Vanities and spite |
|
Fall! |
|
Fall! |
|
Fall! |
|
Downfall! |
|
Fall! |
|
Fall! |
|
Fall! |
|
Downfall! |
|
Solo Gary Holt |
|
So quick to claim the credit due |
|
Yet no one takes the blame |
|
Like Nero played his violin |
|
While watching rome in flames |
|
Implosion of our nations through |
|
Decisions of its kings |
|
Downfall of our creation |
|
It's the end of everything |
|
Our destiny is soon revealed |
|
Battlestrewn no way to heal |
|
We spread the wings of failure |
|
For the world's last goodnight |
|
Downfall! |
|
In the flames of the burning lands |
|
Who claims to have the upper hand? |
|
Bonfire of the vanities and spite |
|
Our destiny is soon revealed |
|
Battlestrewn no way to heal |
|
We spread the wings of failure |
|
For the world's last goodnight |
|
Downfall! |
|
In the flames of the burning lands |
|
Who claims to have the upper hand? |
|
Bonfire of the vanities and spite |
