Fallen from Grace

歌詞

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
