Once, there was a time when we were standing Back to back against the whole conception Once, we had it all, the world was a precious home Times were changing fast, our dreams were fading black The darkness fell on our creation Time was running out, we were falling one by one We live by honor, we fight for freedom, We die but you can't slay our pride Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate, Genocide! Fall, mighty Babylon your might is declining fast You're on your knees, repent your sinning Far, beyond the realms of hell we are born again We live by honor, we fight for freedom, We die but you can't slay our pride Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate, Genocide! Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream To live our lives as we please Metal Genocide No fear, we know the end is near One day we will retaliate, Genocide!
