lyrics

Pillars of Destruction

Our world in flames
I call your name
Come save us

We're to blame, I know
You've long forsaken us

In the time of madness
In the time of greed
There appeared an angel
Looking over my shoulder at me

Then the angel said
With eyes flashing red

"You went power mad
building towers that
reached the sky like
pillars of false hope

The towers collapsed, and
In the aftermath you
Found yourselves strung
From your own twisted rope"

What about you, angel
You carry the blame too
Where was all your help when
Our world needed you?

Then the angel sighed
And with twisted smile, said

"Sweet rain falls on leaves
To feed all the trees
And the future seeds
That they sow.

The old forest burns
To clear the way for
The next crop of new
Green trees to grow"

Anger, greed, and gluttony are
Pillars of destruction

Anger, greed, and gluttony are
Pillars of destruction

Our world is falling to madness
Our world has succumbed to greed
You're no help to us angel
Get you away from me

The angel wept and said
Through the tears she shed

"You had it all, my child
From the lost days of wild
Beasts that roamed free
And drank from crystal streams

Under eye-blue sky
Your people had their pride
Peace and prosperity
Living off land so green

But you went power mad
Building towers that
Reached the sky like
Pillars of false hope

The towers collapsed
And in the aftermath
You found yourselves strung
From your own twisted rope"

The world in flames
I call your name
Come save us

We're to blame, I know
You've long forsaken us

The world in flames
I call your name
Come save us

We're to blame, I know
You've long forsaken us

Pillars of Destruction
That's what our world is built on

Pillars of Destruction
That's what our world is built on

Pillars of Destruction
That's what our world is built on

Pillars of Destruction
That's what our world is built on
