Lyrics

I touched the red rain, heard the thunder roll,
I watched you running with the dogs of war
Young children screaming in the sinking sand.
Running from the death roll of your marching band.

Where were you hiding when the mountain roared,
at your betrayal of the golden lord.
Your legionnaires are but the millions damned,
By casual movement of your crimson hand.


I saw you laughing as the first world fell,
from the garden of Eden.
Into the darkness
A one way ticket straight down to hell,
Into the darkness
It's time the drummer started dealing


Mothers kissed the jackboots of your high command.
Into your cattle cars the righteous crammed,
bound for the chambers that you had prepared,
to murder all of those who to be different dared


Fair Gemini was felled under your deadly dart
To break Americas' still beating heart
The faces of your henchmen rose in dust and smoke
Like the killing of three thousand was your master stroke

I saw you laughing as the first world fell,
from the garden of Eden.
Into the darkness
A one way ticket straight down to hell,
Into the darkness
It's time the drummer started dealing

I saw you laughing as the first world fell,
from the garden of Eden.
Into the darkness
A one way ticket straight down to hell,
Into the darkness
It's time the drummer started dealing
