We've been around, but we never seen this before, no,
The mission burns, and the world cries out for more, more, more,
Choose the leader with the very best lies,
People riot and babies die,
And when God is forsaken, we open up the door.

Temples are burning, the people are turning, and morals are melting to grey,
Cities on fire from rage and desire,
For sin, there's a price to be paid,
Burn and burn, and burn,
Burning Gomorrah.

Cross-town rivals,
On the mean street, survival's the name,
Slam the gavel down, put a felon to the town, it's the same old game,
Switchblade logic makes a powerful case,
Ooh, life can travel at an ugly pace,
How can wings open when the walls are closing in'

Temples are burning, the people are turning, and morals are melting to grey,
Cities on fire from rage and desire,
For sin, there's a price to be paid,
Burn and burn, and burn,
Burning Gomorrah.

Temples are burning, the people are turning, and morals are melting to grey,
Cities on fire from rage and desire,
For sin, there's a price to be paid,
Sirens are wiling, justice is failing, and children are caught in the fray,
Living for pleasure, for godless desire,
We carelessly throw him away,
Temples are burning, the people are turning, and morals are melting to grey.
