I wanted to try to give a synopsis that combined the old and the new states of Godlessness in the world.
We are all the same - each one of us falls short.

Forboding tone in a minor key.

Leaving Sodom Behind

On the day that Sodom fell
The world got its first taste of Hell.
Lot had tried, but he had failed
To make them see.
Almighty God sent forth the call,
And when the fire began to fall
He told Lot "Take your family,
And leave."

BUILD:
They didn't know the power of the Lord
Till they were shown the swiftness of the sword.
When the fire died down,
There was nothing left but ashes.

CHORUS:
Death comes quick for the wicked man.
The swiftest justice comes from God's own hand.
Turn and don't look back again
When you're leaving Sodom behind.

Vs2:
The year was 1941,
There was wailing in Jerusalem.
The slaughter of the Chosen Ones -
The prophesy made true.
Driven by insanity
And hatred for Humanity,
The plan was to exterminate
The Jew.

BUILD:
They didn't know the power of the Lord
Till they were shown the swiftness of the sword.
When the fire died down,
There was nothing left but ashes.

CHORUS:
Death comes quick for the wicked man.
The swiftest justice comes from God's own hand.
Turn and don't look back again
When you're leaving Sodom behind.

Vs3:
A teenage mother holds her son,
And sticks a needle in her arm.
And wonders when the morning comes
Where they'll find food to eat.
In this new millennium,
Oh my God, what have we done?
Shunned the Father, scorned the Son,
And slain Him in the street.

BUILD:
Still don't know the power of the Lord,
Will we be shown the swiftness of the sword?
When the fire dies down,
Will we all be ashes?
Yeah, yeah, yeah -

CHORUS:
Death comes quick for the wicked man.
The swiftest justice comes from God's own hand.
Turn and don't look back again
When you're leaving Sodom behind.

TAG:
We're still leaving Sodom...
Behind.
