A grey and sunless sky above lies heavy on the earth

fire storms acid rain celebrating birth

fall on down to corpses rotting in the streets

baste in their own blood upon the pavement from the heat



Maggots crawl from festering sores soon will turn to flies

spread disease across the land to the lucky who've survived

minds asleep are restless with reminiscent desire

sinners writhe in pain and fright baptism by fire



Chorus



Cities once great of stone and steel now lie black and burning

drifting far and fast away a dying world stops turning

a shroud of darkness steals the earth its solar womb

hopelessly I've given up prepared to meet my doom



Chorus
