GWAR - Decay Of Grandeur Lyrics
Lights fade, all is shadeZombies stalk the promenadeThis is promise of eternityPiles of dead, impaled headSteaming peat is wretched redThey say history is written in such waysTrust in rust, dirt and dustWorms awaiting all of usAt least that's what I heardCrows soar, lions roarChaos rules forevermoreThe human race is the only X factorThe decay of grandeurFrom riches to rotThe decay of grandeur sayTo have and then have notKings crouch, the throne is doomedAssassins reach the inner roomThe jester has become the interloperThe Queen is struck, then runs amuckHer carriage wallows in the muckThe cemetery was moved indoorsThe decay of grandeurFrom riches to rotThe decay of grandeur sayTo have and then have notSome say we have lost our reasonSome say we have lost our mindsSpinning in the blackest wisdomCoveting the darkest wineI say have your host amongst usAnd there you tarry for a timeAll your virtue shall desert youDecaying grandeur, box of pineFirst the sound, and then the smellSonorous the eldritch bellSend you to the seven hells in timeThe decay of grandeurFrom riches to rotThe decay of grandeur sayTo have and then have notIn time, in time, in time, in time...Decay
