Craven Idol - Tottering Cities of Men lyrics

Artist: Craven Idol

album: The Shackles of Mammon


Titanic constructs of hubris
Monstrous fortifications
The tautened noose leads the architect
On the final tarantella
Tottering cities of men painted in black congealed blood
His guilt thus conquered
The creation endures yet
Multitudes drown in the bleeding streets
Gutters overflow with depravity
Waste runs rampant, metropolis covered in mud
Oh tottering cities of men, painted in black putrid blood
Vanish! Like the lightning's gleam
Like a baleful star, an empty dream
Vanish! Like words to dust
Like smoke from Aetna, A lovers lust
The seven plagues of the seven gates
Let the bowls be broken
Rampant vermin, cities are burning
Let them grind to dust...
Blinding Light drives us onwards
Into the night, Into death
Vanish! Like hope through fear
Like wind-blown flame, like trembling prey
Vanish! Like a trifiling sigh
Like dew at morn, A guilty thing
Vanished! Like a lighting strike
