When the Walls Came Tumbling Down Lyrics

[Intro - Spoken Word]
On the first day of the first month in some distant year
The whole sky froze golden
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
While others told of a final retribution
A terrible revenge of the gods

[Verse 1]
But we understood the grand finale
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
So all that was left was...

[Verse 2]
All the women were captured and chained
And national suicide was proclaimed
And New America fell to the ground
And all the children lay crippled and lame

But all the nations came together
In fear of the thought of the end
No more would we fight in the streets
No courage had we to defend

[Chorus]
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound

[Verse 2]
A blinding light the sun had died
A new moon took its place
Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the un-human race
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend
A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end

[Chorus]
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Nobody made a sound

[Outro]
Down!
