On the first day of the first month in some distant year
|
The whole sky froze golden
|
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
|
While others told of a final retribution
|
A terrible revenge of the gods
|
|
But we understood the grand finale
|
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
|
So all that was left was...
|
|
All the women were captured and chained
|
And national suicide was proclaimed
|
And New America fell to the ground
|
And all the children lay crippled and lame
|
But all the nations came together
|
In fear of the thought of the end
|
No more would we fight in the streets
|
No courage had we to defend
|
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
|
|
A blinding light the sun had died
|
A new moon took its place
|
Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the unhuman race
|
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend
|
A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end
|
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
|
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
When the walls came tumbling down
|
Nobody made a sound
|
Down
|
