Born again harder
Than I was before Bringing the hammer down Is more than metaphor I live by the steel Die by the blade What reason is there to be If you're living life afraid? (Chrous) The hammer is my symbol The banner that i wave The motto of my creed Craved upon my grave I live for the here and now I live for knife My coat of arms Is the hammer and life (Solo - Gary) (Solo - Lee) Fear and cowardice Harbingers of demise Strength and the will to fight Will lead you to the prize Glory to all of those Who conquer to the end Honor the hammer On it you can depend (Repeat chorus) |

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 |
