DEF LEPPARD - When The Walls Came Tumbling Down lyrics

rate me

"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"

But we understood the grand finale

Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before

So all that was left was:

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

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

A blinding light the sun had died

A new moon took its place

Tidal waves, and open graves the fate of the unhuman race

The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend

A sinner sits reciting Dylan its now that I welcome the end

When the walls came tumbling down

When the walls came tumbling down

When the walls came tumbling down

Nobody made a sound

(Down down down)

Down!
