We've been around,
But we've never seen this before.
The mission burns and the
world cries out for more, more, more.
Choose the leader with the very best lies.
People riot and the babies die.
When God is forsaken, we open up the door.
CHORUS:
Temples are turning, the people are turning.
And morals are melting to gray.
Cities on fire from rage and desire.
For sin, there's a price to be paid.
Burn, burn, burn, burning Gomorrah.
Cross-town rivals.
On the mean street, survival's the name.
Slam the gavel dawn, put a felon on the town, it's the same old game.
Switch-blade logic makes a powerful case,
Here, life can travel at an ugly pace.
How can wings open when the
Walls are closing in?
CHORUS: (repeats twice)
Sirens are wailing, but justice is failing.
And children are caught in the fray.
Living for pleasure, for Godless desire.
We carelessly throw him away.
Temples are burning, the people are turning.
And morals are melting to gray.
