Kerry King)



Minutes seem like days

Since fire ruled the sky

The rich became the beggars

And the fools became the wise

Memories linger in my brain

Of burning from the acid rain

A pain I never have won



Nothing here remains

No future and no past

No one could foresee

The end that came so fast

Hear the prophet make his guess

That paradise lies to the west

So join his quest for the sun



Shades of death are all I see

Fragments of what used to be



The world slowly decays

Destruction fills my eyes

Harboring the image

Of a spiraling demise

Burning winds release their fury

Simulating judge and jury

Drfiting flurries of pain



Deafening silence reigns

As twilight fills the sky

Eventual supremacy

Daylight waits to die

Darkness always calls my name

A pawn in this recurring game

Humanity going insane



Shades of death are all I see

Fragments of what used to be



Minutes seem like days

Corrosion fills the sky

Morbid dreams of anarchy

Brought judgment in disguise

Memories linger in my brain

Life with nothing more to gain

Perpetual madness remains



Shades of death are all I see

Skeletons of society

Fragments of what used to be

Skeletons of society
