The wind of change transformed the plains into the desert
|
And on the lower levels demons scream delight
|
Places of worship have ceased to serve the purpose
|
The age of reason took a ride into the night
|
Where there were idols there is idleness
|
Unholy churches light their fires upon the moor
|
They sealed the pact with blood and honour
|
The machine spits blood and lurches into war
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We have fallen, it leaves such an embittered taste
|
Erectus is now crawling, we have fallen from grace
|
|
There is a black tree in the wilderness
|
Older than time itself and riddled with disease
|
It feeds on clotted blood and rotting flesh
|
The hunger we all seem too willing to appease
|
When all before you lose their heads into the block
|
When e'en the proudest bend their knees before the flock
|
They seek salvation in the depths of madmen's eyes
|
Knee deep in blood and gore they look toward the skies
|
|
They sought the means by which to transform the gods
|
Burnt the books, created death camps on the way
|
A new religion from the ashes of the old
|
A social order one of masters and slaves
|
They dreamt of everyman, we merely have regressed
|
Into the animal that can't perceive the will
|
Look at the embryo, so twisted and grotesque
|
This is your superman, the legacy to kill
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We have fallen, the losers in the human race
|
Erectus is now crawling, we have fallen from grace
|
