Devastation Lyrics by Savatage

Hall of the Mountain King

1987

[Verse 1]
Waiting for disaster, blackness in the night
I roam the world to hear the cry
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, 2000 brings
The untimely end of all living things

[Verse 2]
The Four Horsemen have started their ride
Can you see them in the sky?
Glaring down at the ground, smile on their face
As they commence the end of the human race

[Chorus]
Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death
This world's insane

[Verse 3]
Start your fields afire, watching them burn
Tomorrow will be another world's turn
To witness the end, to be a part of judgment day
We should have listened to what Christ had to say

[Chorus]
Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death
This world's insane

[Bridge]
What do you say?

[Verse 4]
We all have our chances of living in peace
Now I'm afraid you're in too deep
What can you do when you're a fool, it all goes this way
You should have listened to what Christ had to say

[Chorus]
Total devastation
Prepare yourself to die
This world's insane

[Outro]
No no no no
This world's insane
Oh yeah
No no no
Stop it
No
