Lyrics The fall of idols Morbid Angel

The fall of idols


Our darkest days have come
Barbaric rules, self-serving
Abandoned hope of gods
Dismissed and long forgotten
Our fate cannot be seen
Prophetic fools have failed us
Their visions long dispelled
They've fallen, like all idols

We demand a victor's feast
We demand that all shall know thee
We demand your end be praised

Destroy all statues standing
Built before you reign
Tear them down in your name
Disregard all existence
All kings before your time
They shall all be erased
You claim to desire peace
But if the truth be seen
You know us as your enemy
The ones that praise your grace
The fools that claim your glory
Will watch the pillars fall
And see your kingdom burn
You called us impure heathens
You mocked our culture's ways

You forced disbelief upon us
By way of sword and blade
You ruled with hand of fury
You pillaged and you raped
None shall sing your praise
They claimed you as their savior
Embraced your heinous ways
You proved yourself a failure
You swore to be the shelter
To shield is from the storm
Yet, you brought this reign upon us
A shattered ego fallen
Dismissed and soon forgotten
Your name will be erased
We always were your enemy
And if the truth be seen
We brought your end of days
Praise no man as savior

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE FALL OF IDOLS of MORBID ANGEL is also present in the album Kingdoms disdained (2017)

Biografia

Morbid Angel is an American death metal band from Tampa, Florida. Formed in 1983, they have significantly contributed to the development of the death metal genre, distinguishing it from thrash metal. Considered one of the pillars of the movement, alongside bands like Death, Possessed, Obituary, and Cannibal Corpse, they have defined the standards of the genre with iconic albums such as *Altars of Madness* (1989), considered by many to be the best death metal album of all time. The musical complexity of their songs is due to the exceptional technical skills of guitarist Trey Azagthoth and drummer Pete Sandoval, who has also played with the grindcore/death metal band Terrorizer. Morbid Angel is one of the best-selling death metal bands in the United States, with over 445,000 copies sold according to Nielsen SoundScan. Their album *Covenant* (1993) is the best-selling death metal album in America, with over 127,000 copies sold.
