You never knew what would come from this
Taking apart our world piece by piece
You and I are one
You never knew what would become
You never took a chance to relent
Tearing down the walls that contain us
When I hear the screams
I lament the warmth of the sun
Look upon the earth
See your world in flames
A burning final day
Now the end is here
Do you see?
Time and time again we all were warned
But you wanted to maintain your ways
Now your ways are gone
You fought the war but now you're done
When you hear me say that this is it
The things you fought for will disappear
When I take your hand
I lament what has become
Look upon the earth
See your world in flames
A burning final day
Now the end is here
Do you see?
As we go around the sun
Emerald sphere
Floating in despair
We all know we're doomed
The end is here
What did we do
The end is here
And all is done

At the End of Time
07:32
|

As far as the horizon
There is nought but devastation
Corpses of the innocent
Voices that cry in dissent
Wandering so lost and dazed
Feeling my life ebb away
No hope or dream can save me
I want to be annihilated
Oh, to save me from this fate
And open up some sacred gate
When you see dark in the days
Hope is just another name
For madness!
This feeling paralyzes
Thoughts unwinding: panic rises
Despair that just won't relent
Hope inside me soon repressed
Wandering among the dead
Yearning now to see the end
No hope or dream can save me
I want to be annihilated
Oh, to save me from this fate
And open up some sacred gate
When you see dark in the days
Hope is just another name
For madness!
Oh, to save me from this fate
And open up some sacred gate
When you see dark in the days
Hope is just another name
For madness!
And so I embrace my fate
It'll always be too late
To play the strings of doom
At the end of time
In darkness

Suffering is the future
Fire and smoke
Superheated gas
Drowning in the sea of change
Roiling in misfortune
This was not our way
But we suffer with you
Suffering is the future
Wild winds and rain
Super cyclone death
Drowning in the sea of change
Roiling in misfortune
This was not our way
But we suffer with you
(spoken)
The hour is late and we have suffered so far.
Look east and West and see a world dominated by scars.
Unknowingly creating Atlantis. Our homes become monuments. Towers erupt from the deep, like shrines for a time of lament.
Destruction is a way of life. We're wrong to not be afraid.
Mankind will reap what it sows and fall down on its own blade

The Mother Part II

I created you
You are of my flesh
Your eyes are jewels
Pearls of my seas
Wisdom was yours
One of many gifts
Freedom was so kind
But a load to bear
Now I turn from you
My love, my child
Your hands reached too far
Now you must die
Time after time
You caused me pain
Now my hands reach out
Drown you in tears
I created you
Now I bring you death
Those eyes I gave to you
Will fade to black
Agony is mine
Time to relent
You are my spawn
My child to destroy
Now I turn from you
My love, my child
Your hands reached too far
Now you must die
Time after time
You caused me pain
Now my hands reach out
Drown you in tears
Waves of doom
Tears of mine
Eyes turn blue
Wide with fear
No chains will
Hold me back
I take back
Your life...
So die...

Ironsphere
05:38
|
|||
At the boundary, periphery
Haunted eyes survey skies
Salvos of winds, tormented seas
The home of the unfree
Beneath us all
The future
Grasp the mantle
Unleash, and...
Bring forth the fire
Unending death
Bring forth the fire
Unto us the doom
Seething currents, million degrees
Molten heart, behind dead eyes
Forces to melt the mountains of steel
An angry God's decree
Beneath us all
The future
Grasp the mantle
Unleash, and...
Bring forth the fire
Unending death
Bring forth the fire
Unto us the doom

This Crying Earth
04:50
|
|||
This world, just like a heaven
The verdant green, the sparkling blue
Waves on golden sands
Life in all its hue
Ascending descending
The life of the chosen
The will of the Earth is
Forgotten downtrodden
Oh woe, so climb the walls
Fear death in these bloodless halls
This Crying Earth
And so... the hills are levelled
To roll forth, the wheels of time
Change is thrice at hand
Thus the doom is mine
Ascending descending
The life of the chosen
The will of the Earth is
Forgotten downtrodden
Oh woe, so climb the walls
Fear death in these bloodless halls
This Crying Earth

Fade Into Black
05:27
|
|||
The world is now on one side
Turned at once by my pride
Here at the end I am prone
A numb being, alone
Fade into Black
Where I came from, I cannot go
The end of the line
Embrace the end, I am no more
The end of my time
Fade
Into black
No rainbows in the sky
What happens when we die?
The crows pick at the bones
I lived my life as a drone
Fade into Black
Where I came from, I cannot go
The end of the line
Embrace the end, I am no more
The end of my time
Fade
Into black
Whereupon I will die
Within is the ache of life
Scorched by anger
Defiant, denied
Arms outstretched I scream the lies
I care for you
Destroyed by life
Fade into Black
Where I came from, I cannot go
The end of the line
Embrace the end, I am no more
The end of my time
Fade
Into black
