D A D
Like the ancient Roman Empire this world is doomed to fall
D
And it's much too big a thing for mortal man
G D Bm
Just take a look around and see the writing on the wall
D A D
Somehow we've got to find a helping hand
Chorus:
D G D
This world has never been in the awful shape it's in
D A D
And people scorn the things our leaders do
D G D
It's time a prayer was spoken from the heart of every man
D A D
Jesus take a hold and lead us through
The mighty roar of gunfire is now a local sound
And our city streets are filled with angry men
Law's now a mockery throughout our troubled land
And destruction seems to be the current trend
Chorus
