Seeds of Downfall Lyrics


We came as heroes

Sincerest charity in mind

The saviours of the hopeless

All alms and honest kindness

We left as villains

Despoilers of disease

Nightmare prevails - as always

We spoiled our precious grain

And tainted is the water

No birds of song remain

We came as saviours

To bathe you in our grace

But now the seeds of downfall we have sown

In the barren ground

The barren ground!

Seeds of downfall!

Descending madness

We dwindle down the path of sin

Awakening within us

Our kinds inherent evil

Hunger for power

For worship and command

Nightmare prevails - as always

We spoiled our precious grain

And tainted is the water

No birds of song remain

We came as saviours

To bathe you in our grace

But now the seeds of downfall we have sown

In the barren ground

Tainted is our hollowed ground

Blackend it's vital nectar

We'll eat the noxious yield

As we fall the earth begins to heal

Nightmare prevails - as always

We spoiled our precious grain

And tainted is the water

No birds of song remain

We came as saviours

To bathe you in our grace

But now the seeds of downfall we have sown

In the barren ground
