they promised us what we all wanted to hear
a new realm of life for the next thousand years
a new golden age of rise and expansion
devastating devils
devastating devils
hail the barbarians
cheer your en-dowers
greet the barbarians
wave your well wishers

the skies are pouring showers of burning sand
the skies are pouring showers of burning sand
they're draining the oceans
leveling the mountains
filling up the valleys
devastating devils
devastating devils
they massacre, call it progress
they plunder and call it wealth
exterminate, abolish and steal
they turn into carrion, everything they touch
they never know nothing, they seldom knew much
hail the barbarians
cheer your en-dowers
greet the barbarians
wave your well wishers
hail the barbarians
cheer your en-dowers
greet the barbarians
wave your well wishers
hail the barbarians
cheer your en-dowers
greet the barbarians
wave your well wishers
hail the barbarians
cheer your en-dowers
greet the barbarians
wave your well wishers
they promised us more of everything, for everybody
they promised us more of everything, for everybody
they promised us more of everything, for everybody
they promised us more of everything, for everybody
