5000 Years Lyrics by Recoil

subHuman

2007

[Verse 1: Joe Richardson]
Five thousand years, that's a lotta tears
And your world's still crumblin' down
So full of hate, you've sealed your fate
And your world's still crumblin' down
So many scars after all the wars and wars and wars and wars
And your world's still crumblin' down
Your battle cry echoes as you die
And your world's still crumblin' down

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Joe Richardson]
The rockets fly across the sky
And your world's still crumblin' down
You take and take, oh, for heaven's sake
And your world's still crumblin' down
You only feel the pain you deal and deal and deal and deal
And your world's still crumblin' down
Peace can't be known, that dove has flown
And your world's still crumblin' down

[Hook: Joe Richardson]
And the rockets fly
Come on, people
Tell them!
Crumblin' down
Crumblin' down
All down
All down
Crumblin' all down

[Interlude]
...

[Outro]
Let me tell you something еlse about the character of God. If nеcessary, God would raise up a tyrant, a man who might not have the best ethics, to protect the freedom in risk of the ethical and the Godly
