HAMMERFALL
"Genocide"
(Oscar Dronjak / Stefan Elmgren)

Once, there was a time when we were standing back
To back against the whole conception
Once, we had it all, the world was a precious home
Times were changing fast, our dreams were fading black
The darkness fell on our creation
Time was running out, we were falling one by one

We live by honor, we fight for freedom, we die but you can't slay our pride

Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please
Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate,
Genocide!

Fall, mighty Babylon your might is declining fast
You're on your knees, repent your sinning
Far, beyond the realms of hell we are born again

We live by honor, we fight for freedom, we die but you can't slay our pride

Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please
Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate,
Genocide!

[Solo:Stefan]

Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please
Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate

Behind these walls we deem, take hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please
Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate,
Genocide!
