Darkness Descends歌詞

[01:51.00]The world now stands ancient, showing her age
[01:53.00]Antique, senile, archaic
[01:55.00]Peroration impending, not one to assuage
[01:57.00]The human remnants of Earth
[01:59.00]Pandemic winds chill the soul
[02:01.00]Eradication of the will
[02:03.00]Nihilism extracts its toll
[02:05.00]Frightening the meekly servile
[02:15.00]Sacrosanct, the religious ones
[02:16.00]Are fast becoming extinct

[02:20.00]Permeate the night air
[02:22.00]The fear of the end preys on the minds
[02:24.00]Of all the soon-to-be dead
[02:26.00]With death at the hands of a hideous fiend
[02:28.00]A grisly fate to comprehend
[02:38.00]This city is guilty

[02:54.00]Internal combustion, plutonic rage
[02:55.00]The bodies create their own hell
[02:57.00]The flame from within, unleashed from its cage
[02:59.00]Purging the great sins of all
[03:01.00]Admissions of guilt are all that are sought
[03:03.00]By judges who have twisted laws
[03:05.00]The quick abrogation of the populace
[03:07.00]Striking with great enmity
[03:17.00]Listing the ways in which we will die
[03:19.00]As the prophets claim we will soon
[03:21.00]Self-immolation that unjustified
[03:22.00]Stygian shores ahead loom
[03:25.00]The coffins are ready, the death warrant signed
[03:27.00]Depression has swiftly set in
[03:28.00]Inimical powers against humankind

[04:39.00]The Earth meets an untimely fate
[04:41.00]The horrific malignance spreading its wings
[04:43.00]Across the expanse of the sky
[04:46.00]Contamination and all that it brings
[04:47.00]The judges commit genocide
[04:57.00]Retaliation, a useless ploy
[04:59.00]We've gazed into the face of fear
[05:01.00]We know that it stands for our own bitter end
[05:03.00]The end, we realise, is now here
[05:05.00]The claws of denouement grasp at our lungs
