Chorus:
 C                                  Am
Pounding the world like a battering ram
 C                                       Am
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam
 G
Chopping away at the source soon
                    Am
the course will be done
G
Leaving a trail of destruction
                  Am
that's second to none

C                                      Am
Hammering anvils straining muscle and might
  C                                     Am
Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright
 G                                     Am
Fast devastating and desolisating the curse
  G                                                    Am
Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth

E
Wielding the axe comes the one culmination

That's always seemed certain
                               D
to bring down the curtain on greed
 E
Sifting the good from the bad
it's the age for the rage
Of the dogs which must fall
                     D
to the just and be free

Now, grate for the vandals
who trampled and sampled
Till this place conditioned
brought forth demolition to war
The slipping and sliding,
corrosive subsiding
That withered and waned till
the world seemed all drained fills the bay

Chorus:
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
Cleaving a trail of destruction
that's second to none
Second to none
