Downfall

                                  A crumbling empire

Where angels fear to tread

Into the ruins of a civilization

A society ripped to shreds

No semblance of order

Into the world which I abjure

Where the bloody blade is forged

Am I the cause of the cure?



[Chorus]

Our destiny is soon revealed

Battle strewn, 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 and 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?



[Chorus]



Fall!

Fall!

Fall!

Downfall!



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



[Chorus]
