lyrics

Shall I hide from them what I'm to do?
The cry of filth so great, I must walk to know and judge
Ask me then, ask me now
Will I spare this hate for 50 in its midst?
Bow down, the wings have come

Now at night, the swine are out to play
Who you call you Lot and say, let us know these men of mystery
Stricken blind, eyes and mind, there's filth outside your door
Lock them in and walk away, we'll burn this city down

Bow down, the wings have come
Bow down, the wings have come
Eyes wide shut (don't turn around)
Dust and ash (don't turn around)
Wings have come (don't turn around)
Do not turn around, we'll burn this city down!
Now, burn this city down!
Behold your punishment (don't turn around)
Sulphur falls and wills your end
I will cease this filth (don't turn around)
Your guilt, the plague for eternity

Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise?
Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise?

Do you feel alive, surrounded by fruits of unknown pain?
Walk away or you will burn

Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise?
Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise?
