Lyrics
In desperate times it's easy to act amiss while people are begging for more
In desperate times, it's easy to act wrongly while people are pleading for more.
Ere 20 years all of them were bleeding and now the world is burning again
Before 20 years, all of them were suffering, and now the world is experiencing turmoil once again.
Downfall because of thirst for revenge
Downfall is a result of a desire for revenge.
Do you really know what you do?
Questioning whether the actions are truly understood.
The whole world was covered in dust and smoke
The entire world was enveloped in dust and smoke.
Lord what have they done!
An exclamation expressing dismay or shock at the actions taken.
Nevermore!
Expressing a desire for no recurrence of such events - "Nevermore."
Mass disaffection made em hail the evil king
Widespread discontent leads people to hail an evil king.
Nevermore!
Repetition of the desire for no recurrence - "Nevermore!"
Blinded they raise their hands like puppets on a string
People, blinded, raise their hands like puppets on a string.
40 decades of war, blood and death, don't you think that this was enough
Reflection on 40 decades of war, blood, and death, questioning if it was not enough.
Millions of people left their lives for nothing, just for the greed and lust of a few
Millions of lives lost for the greed and lust of a few.
Downfall because of thirst for revenge
Downfall reiterated due to a thirst for revenge.
Do you really know what you do?
Reiteration of questioning whether actions are truly understood.
The whole world was covered in dust and smoke
Repetition of the world covered in dust and smoke.
Lord what have they done!
Reiterated expression of dismay or shock at the actions taken.
Nevermore!
Reiteration of the desire for no recurrence - "Nevermore!"
Mass disaffection made em hail the evil king
Repetition of mass disaffection leading to the acclaim of an evil king.
Nevermore!
Final repetition of the desire for no recurrence - "Nevermore!"
Blinded they raise their hands like puppets on a string
Final image of people, blinded, raising their hands like puppets on a string.
