Lyrics
Death From Above
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We alone, sea-breakers, by desolate streams
World-forsakers, forever it seems
Built the world's great cities
Trampled kingdoms down
With a new song's magic conquered each and every crown
Was it that one man's soul
Cursed and broken
With that one light shining
That does not depart
With that one word out
One last spoken
Brought heaven-wrought flame
In another man's heart
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
We crush them all with black prophesying
For each generation is a dream that is dying
And the Sun's so high
Scorning hope of the morning
No future nigh
Goes the warning
Was that one man's soul
Cursed and broken
With that one light shining
That does not depart
With that one word out
One last spoken
Brought heaven-wrought flame
In another man's heart
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There is only treason now
Death from above
Was it that one man's soul
Cursed and broken
With that one light shining
That does not depart
With that one word out
One last spoken
Brought heaven-wrought flame
In another man's heart
Was it that one man's soul
Cursed and broken
With that one light shining
That does not depart
With that one word out
One last spoken
Brought heaven-wrought flame
In another man's heart
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There's only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
There is only treason now
Death from above
There is no reason why
Death from above
