[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
Strange to behold
Is the stone of this wall
Broken by fate
[Verse]
And the strongholds are bursten
And the work of giants decaying;
The roofs are fallen
The towers are tottering
Mouldering palaces roofless
Weather-marked masonry shattering
Shelters time-scarred
Tempest-marred
Undermined of old
[Instrumental]
[Pre]
Earth's grasp holdeth
Its mighty builders
Tumbled, crumbled
In gravel's harsh grip
Till a hundred generations
Of men pass away
[Chorus]
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
[Outro]
Till a hundred generations
Pass away
[Instrumental Outro]
