Def Leppard
"When The Walls Came Tumbling Down"

(Clark/Elliott/Smith)

On the first day of the first month 
In some distant year 
The whole sky froze golden 
Some said it was the aftermath 
Of the radium bomb 
While others told of a final retribution 
A terrible revenge of the gods 

But we understood the grand finale 
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before 
So all that was left was: 
All the women were captured and chained 
And national suicide was proclaimed 
And New America fell to the ground 
And all the children lay crippled and lame 
But all the nations came together 
In fear of the thought of the end 
No more would we fight in the streets 
No courage had we to defend 

When the walls came tumbling down 
When the walls came tumbling down 
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound 
When the walls came tumbling down 
When the walls came tumbling down 
When the walls came tumbling down 
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound 

A blinding light the sun had died 
A new moon took its place 
Tidal waves, and open graves the fate of the unhuman race 
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend 
A sinner sits reciting Dylan its now that I welcome the end 

Repeat Chorus 

Repeat Chorus 

Nobody made a sound 
(Down down down) 
Down!
