Lyrics & Translation

[English]
Pounding the world
Like a battering ram
Forging the furnace
For the final grand slam
...
Chopping away at the source
Soon the course will be done
Leaving a trail of destruction
That's second to none
Hammering anvils
Screaming muscle and might
Shattering blows
Crashing brow beating fright
...
Fast, devastating and
Desolisating the curse
Blasting the cannons of truth
To each man of this earth
...
Wielding the axe
Comes the one culmination
That's always seemed
Certain to bring down the curtain on Bree
...
Sifting the good from the bad
It's the age for the rage of the
Dogs which must fall to the just
And be free
...
Now great for the vandals
Who trampled and sampled
'Til misplace condition
Brought forth demolition to all
...
The slipping and sliding
Corrosive subsiding
That withered and waned
'Til the world seemed all
Green fields today
...
Pounding the world
Like a battering ram
Forging the furnace
For the final grand slam
...
Chopping away at the source
Soon the course will be done
Leaving a trail of destruction
That's second to none
...
Second to none!
...
