Darkness Descends

FEAR
 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
 Choatic 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
 grisly fate to comprehend 

 DEATH 

 This city is guilty
 The crime is life
 The sentence is death
 Darkness descends
 (repeat 3 times) 

 FIRE
 Internal combustion, plutonic 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 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 

 DEATH 

 This city is guilty
 The crime is life
 The sentence is death
 Darkness descends 

 MORTIS
 Decaying, the ruins fall swift to the ground
 The carnage is morbid and great
 Mephitic deathstench 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... 

 DEATH
 This city is guilty
 The crime is life
 The sentence is death
 Darkness descends
