Bloodstains, not rose petals lie on the path To the gluttonous bed of the whore For she, who is Satan, the waiting bloodbath Is preparing her nation's for war For war
Anthropogenic Dark angels wring The fabric of life free of tears
Choking black fronds From the censers they bring Encircle as Apocalypse nears
Midnight is the phase Seismic second waves End of final days near
Sorrowed Holocene Blackened back to clean Like Man has never been here
Nothing but burnt Skies ever learnt The fate of that terrible game It is not this stirred circus Strength that deserts us Fires that hurt us But the dying of the embers
That murders all hope for the flame For the ghost of humanity to rise once again Unsympathetic judgement descends Nine billion souls under heel Storm-clouds ablaze, razors slice through the ends Of the Earth, with insatiable zeal
Midnight is the phase Seismic second waves End of final days near
Sorrowed Holocene Blackened back to clean Like Man has never been here
Nothing but burnt skies ever learnt The fate of that terrible game It is not this stirred circus Strength that deserts us Fires that hurt us, that brings on the pain Nothing but burnt Skies ever learnt The fate of that terrible game
It is not this stirred circus Strength that deserts us Fires that hurt us But the dying of the embers That murders all hope for the flame
Our lengthening reach went astray Ignoring the laws of our brittle existence, the universe clawed And tore it away
Life is a dream In an endless charade Armageddon deadens (Armageddon deadens) (Armageddon deadens, Armageddon deadens)
History warned us but we chose to pray We murdered all hope for the flame For the ghost of humanity to rise once again
Nothing but burnt Skies ever learnt The fate of that terrible game It is not this stirred circus Strength that deserts us Fires that hurt us, that brings on the pain
Nothing but burnt Skies ever learnt The fate of that terrible game
It is not this stirred circus Strength that deserts us Fires that hurt us But the dying of the embers
That murders all hope for the flame
