"Seeds Of Downfall" lyrics

"Seeds Of Downfall"

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

Seeds of downfall!

Tainted is our hollowed ground
Blackened its 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
