Sabbat - The Demise of History

From the 1991 album "Mourning Has Broken"

Line-up:
Richie Desmond - Vocals
Andy Sneap - Guitar
Neil Watson - Guitar
Wayne Banks - Bass
Simon Negus - Drums

This album has been more or less disowned by Sabbat - it was excluded from the
remaster series that included the first two albums and is not listed in the
discography on their new official website.


Lyrics:

Can you see tomorrows end?
The spawning of a new God begins
The cities been lost to the war.

Enemy existence is all abound
Death laughs, his begotten playground
The village of the damned is set forever.

There's a city forging in the underground
Escaping the terror that brought man down
Eclipsing nightmares bring the dreams to an end
Look upon the valley of the shadows transcend.

We all prey for the morning dawn
But the sun has died with our saviour,
All we see, the demise of our history.
All we see
is the need for tranquillity
All we see
A veil of conspiracy.

Puppet states are now in place
Times have oppressed the human race
The Empire of the dark has dawned.

Blackened skies beckon forth the nadir
Dramatising escalating fear
The masses flee the abyss in awe.

There's a revolution in the underground
Escaping the terror that brought man down
Eclipsing nightmares bring the dreams to an end
Look upon the valley of the shadow transcend.

Night prevails as a new day's born
We thought out faith would save us
All these lies.
Why all these lies?

All we see
Is the need for tranquillity
All we see
Is the demise of history.

[Narration:]
Pro-creation, manufacture of their master race
Abolition of the meek, only the strong remain
God created man to his own uniform
Birth of a new world through adoration.

Procreation, manufacture of their master race

Abolition of the meek, only the strong remain

God created man to his own uniform

The birth of a new world through adoration.

Sounds like they pulled some random guy out of a bar and said "here, sing on our album"

[nessingom]

its not in their official website because this album is not sabbat.

such as the band "Dio" won't be dio without the actual dio' so as sabbat are not sabbat without martin.

I think its terrible that this album has such a tainted legacy. I feel for Ritchie Desmond, he didn't deserve his career to be ended by this. He should be proud of his work because its a brilliant metal album. The mistake was not changing the name. If your reading this Ritchie, well done buddy 20 years and still relevant.

I never understood why Sabbat won't claim this. It wasn't bad as opposed to just different.

[MrBIOSkunk]

The rythmn guitarist at the time was a guy from Nottingham called Neil Watson. The guys is a legend!
