Dark Angel - Darkness DescendsLyrics

The world now stands ancient, showing her age Antique, senile, archaic Peroration impending, not one to assuage The human remnants of earth Pandemic winds chill the soul Eradication of the will Nihilism extracts its toll Frightening the meekly servile Sacrosanct, the religious ones Are fast becoming extinct Chaotic precursors of what will befall Permeate the night air The fear of the end preys on the minds Of all the soon-to-be dead With death at the hands of a hideous fiend A grisly fate to comprehend [Chorus] Death This city is guilty The crime is life The sentence is death Darkness Descends fire Internal combustion, platonic rage The bodies create their own hell The flame from within, unleashed from its cage Purging the great sins of all Admissions of guilt are all that are sought By judges who have twisted laws The quick abrogation of the populace Striking with great enmity Listing the ways in which we will die As the prophets claim we will soon Self-immolation that's unjustified Stygian shores ahead loom The coffins are ready, the death warrant signed Depression has swiftly set in Inimical powers against humankind This charnelhouse ensanguined Mortis Decaying, the ruins fall swift to the ground The carnage is morbid and great Mephitic death stench of corpses abound The earth meets an untimely fate The horrific malignance, spreading its wings Across the expanse of the sky Contamination and all that it brings The judges commit genocide Retaliation, a useless ploy We've gazed into the face of fear We know that it stands for our own bitter end The end we realize is now here The claws of denouement grasp at our lungs Asphyxiation rules supreme The future of mankind cut down while they're young Our children die clutching their dreams
