How the Mighty Have Fallen

from THE EVIL THAT BALANCES THE UNIVERSE by Spiritus Mundi

/

lyrics

This is the system of evil
That controls the whole of the world
The masses pray for lasting peace
As they wage yet another war
Ideology, their agenda
Hidden behind lies and deception
Spill some more blood on another’s shores
With no logical reason

Bury the bones of the deceased
Return them back to the Earth
Great things they’ll build upon their graves
Just look at the towers they have made
To protect freedom from hostile enemy
The one true purpose of government
It is treason to question their authority
And to refute their truths, anti-patriotic

Giving up freedom in the name of freedom
For a war that is opposed to war
Once it is gone it’s so hard to take back
And maybe it will be gone forevermore

God bless America
The almighty land of freedom
They have in democracy found
A way to enslave their fellow man
Indoctrination of every soul
‘Till the square peg fits the round hole
They sell their patriotic slogans
But the true nature of their agenda is control

Giving up freedom in the name of freedom
For a war that is opposed to war
Once it is gone it’s so hard to take back
And maybe it will be gone forevermore

When from the herd a sheep strays
Upon it they’ll send the wolves to prey
On broken knees you will learn to crawl
Before the elite you are sure to fall
The sheep become their own guard dogs
Casting out those who do not fall in line
Opposing not humanity’s oppression
For to question freedom is a crime

A brainwashing machine
With a sick ideology
Propaganda used to blind you
To make you slaves that think you’re free
This fraudulent system of lies
Was built to control and pacify
With a slight of hand dictatorship
Their quest to conquer and divide

‘America, the great whore
Opens herself to anyone
Impregnated by sin
She gives birth to the dying dream
This once great nation
Built by visions of the elite
Now witnesses their freedom
Where it lies bleeding in the streets

Everything worth fighting for
Everything worth dying for
With a passive hand is given
To the morally impure
And as with all great societies
Egypt, Rome, and the great bear before
It is only a matter of time
Before this nation falls’

‘Standing on the broken backs
Of history’s giants
Building towers to the skies
With the bones of genius
A blinded nation could not see
The writing so clearly on the wall
Nostradamus prophesied
That the twins would surely fall

A double shot across the bow
Awakened the sleeping giant
Martyrs of a different god
Or agents for a desert tyrant
Evil born from eastern lands
Sent by the winds to kill them all
Revenge in the name of freedom
Was to be the clarion call’

Little men cast long shadows
When the sun is setting low
Ruthless greed governs a heartless nation
Without the remnants of a soul
Suffering on a new level
Never before known to you
When tolerance is murder
And ignorance the status quo

In the last stage of rapid growth
All things will soon come to past
When the future’s held in corrupt palms
Of your leaders bloodstained hands
The time for war is upon you now
No longer a madman’s dream
When religious doctrines
Always divide humanity

See how the mighty have fallen
See how the mighty have fallen
See your freedom lying in ruin
And how this nation bleeds in sin

Standing amidst the fire
This nation is burning all around
Open the floodgates of hate
The release of terror abound
From the wounds of betrayal you bleed to death
They’ll only use a bandage but you need a tourniquet
Hope is wiped out by spasms of war
When tyrannous acts justify reprisal

Shocked senseless you watch your nation
As she dies screaming in horror
America comes to a screeching halt
A great mistake, freedom’s failure
Mothers lie their children down
On the funeral pyres of their fathers
The stain of your sins erased from
The face of the Earth forevermore
