The Undergrads - The Lords' First Book

[Lyrics] The Undergrads - The Lords' First Book [Hook x2] When pride builds high and warnings pushed aside And rulers grow drunk on the glow of their shine Foundations crack(crack) under unseen eyes The Lord’s First Book records the fall & the rise [Verse 1] The Lord of the earth wasn’t one man’s name It was an office passed down to the highest of grade Not crowned by ego or the hunger for fame But lifted by light that was attained and displayed The faithists held the light in the darkened lands While the druks created war and had blood on their hands Spirits of darkness crept under the moon Till the heavens saw earth was a festering wound Pan stood heavy with corruption’s breath Violence & disease turned life to death The ground got heavy with murder and theft The chosen were hunted, heads severed from necks. Timbers got made on the mountain slopes Cut to instruction, mast raised with ropes Work done in silence, no labor for show Awaiting the word for when the seas would grow [Hook x2] When pride builds high and warnings pushed aside And rulers grow drunk on the glow of their shine Foundations crack(crack) under unseen eyes The Lord’s First Book records the fall & the rise [Verse 2] Ships formed in rank, from heaven to ground Ten thousand-fold force in their circuitry wownt Contracted in power, the crust gave sound And Wagga fell to the depths and drowned Waters climbed over cities, every hovel and home Religions swallowed whole, every temple and throne Voices once loud now choking on foam And the bodies dragged down where the sharks would roam Four fleets carried forth by instructed winds Guatama east where the new age begins Ham to the plains where the Nile descends Shem to Vind’yu & Jahfeth to Chine’yas extense [Hook x2] When pride builds high and warnings pushed aside And rulers grow drunk on the glow of their shine Foundations crack(crack) under unseen eyes The Lord’s First Book records the fall & the rise [Verse 3] The heavens of Wagga were broken and laid Druj bands were divided, empires unmade Lower realms cleared where corruption had stayed New thrones were established by wisdom and grade No crown was granted by hunger or praise Office seats were decided by labor and ways Light replaced noise & the dark displays & brothers lifted others from outta the maze Worlds get corrected when the souls go astray Fields that grew bitter were tilled with spades Nothing escapes what the record has made & All things return to the source they betrayed Nowwe boast in diamonds and our golden chains Our kingdoms grow proud while the roots decay Remember how Pan in its arrogance swayed And how the continent fell when the measure was weighed [Hook x2] When pride builds high and warnings pushed aside And rulers grow drunk on the glow of their shine Foundations crack(crack) under unseen eyes The Lord’s First Book records the fall & the rise
