The Decline and the Fall Lyrics

4. THE DECLINE AND THE FALL

Beyond a black horizon
I stay in the shadow of the world
Watching these tormented souls whirling in misery
The fall of their empire comes...
Beyond a black horizon
I see these men of clay melting like snow in sunshine
Their abysmal cries tearing the silence
Demons stay in hell
Angels in heaven
They're alone on the earth of despair
The fall of their empire comes as imminent storm...

Into a dark atmosphere
Everything is chaotic
a state of confusion
I lower my head before so much blackness
It all hurts me,
It all spoils me but my body is empty of tears
Men, so numerous and so noisy
thoughtless architects of their ineluctable destruction
Swarming & crawling- are enduring the suffering for life
I hear the storm from the distance
A strange weather
A slowness is streching as far as the eye can see
This world is just a wilderness
Man's reign turns to ashes
Man's existence is just a sigh in the whirling of eternity
All... Will cease
All... Will collapse
All... Will die
All... Will decline & fall
Can they feel the imminence of the end ?
