When the Walls Came Tumbling Down Def Leppard

[Intro - Spoken Word]
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

[Verse 1]
But we understood the grand finale
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
So all that was left was...

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
