Downfall - Exodus

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
