Darkness Descends

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 This city is guilty The crime is life The sentence is death Darkness descends 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'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 This city is guilty The crime is life The sentence is death Darkness descends 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 malignancy, 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... This city is guilty The crime is life The sentence is death Darkness descends

Once, the tale of Sodom Brought anguish to the eyes Of all god-fearing people With eternal afterlives Sin and lust run rampant now Perversion on the rise Reliving all the ways of old Gomorrah realized Sodom, an unholy place Angels searched for a few Souls who'd yet to fall from grace To save them from the doom Paradise of pleasures lost Herein the future lies Laughing at the "holy cross" As death rained from the skies Falling from the heavens Angels lie decayed Burning, city of Sodom One by one, sinners pay Skeptics failed to heed the call Of angels sent to tell Of the impending death to all In blazing city hell Consorting with the demons craft The ways of god repelled Burning cross, cause to laugh Lot, the one expelled Falling from the heavens Angels lie decayed Burning, city of Sodom One by one, sinners pay The sufferers' impalement Inside the city gates Worshiping the holy priests The masters of all hate The flag of the inverted cross Menacing, held high Laughing at the "holy cross" At twelve, the virgin dies!!! Our righteous family did escape The family-father Lot Sinful daughters succumbed to rape Not as holy as thought!!! Mankind throughout eternity Built on evils' designs The resilience of iniquity Lives on in Christian minds Falling from the heavens Angels lie decayed Burning, city of Sodom One by one, sinners pay!!!

I walk through deaths' door I'm frightened to see A determined fate is not in store for me No light in the tunnel Or brimstone awaits Return to the earth A reincarnate My life Meant others had to suffer in my wake My hatred proved too much for god to take My soul is set to live in disrespect Karma's' retribution - life's reject Is what I'm meant to be An outcast from society?? A laughing stock - as I walk the earth Vindication laughs at my rebirth Or will I be a victim of the thing Commonly known as eternity?? Eternally black In limbo I'm trapped In silence I sound a plea Light is no more I feel not a thing Undead, I need to break free Listen The silence deafens all the unheard screams The darkness rips away all the unseen dreams Numbness shrouds my soul I'm left to roam Paralysis now my only home Spiritual planes do not exist Life in this realm I will resist And break these bonds - These chains that lock my soul Watch my growing fire burst through the wall I need to grasp the earthen world again Onto the realm of humans I'll ascend Hunger Of the undead Now if my soul is mine then why will you not let it be free?? I wonder When this will all end To live in this shell makes me laugh at religious disease Who'd think that There's no hell or heaven?? Only an absence of god and no Satan supposedly fell A spirits' Reincarnation Is the proof of no heaven or merciless torment of hell... I walk through life's' door I'm frightened to see A determined fate is now in store for me A leper I stand A pitiful scene Martyred, by my impiety Believe me The vicious circle has triumphed again And now a life of agony I'll begin The fates have dealt the hand I'm set to play A losing situation in every way I know I'm meant to be An outcast from society And live my days banished from the race Reborn into this life of much disgrace My soul is set to live in disrespect Karma's' retribution - life's' reject!!!

Respecting your wishes My brother, you wish to die In a bed surrounded by tubes Immobility's cast its shadow In your body numbness reigns You've calculated your demise Your future racked with pain I'll take the life behind your eyes There was a time when death was distant And the fire of life burned bright Now we realize life's no constant No will to life, death is a right Euthanasia, not murder Act of mercy to escape Society's form of torture To let you live this way Death is certain Life is not Your mind's in torment Waiting to rot The final curtain Always draws it close When death is certain The end unfolds From the neck down, you're senseless From the neck up, you're alive And the politics of humanity Refuse to let you die And all the while you plot your death With me at your side Your last wish, your brain to rest Your bondage ropes untied And the prayer for miracles is through For there's no god to care Do unto others as done to you Without a doubt he isn't there I won't make a mistake with faith Christ's a waste of time How can I put my trust in god With innocent people dying? Death is certain Life is not Your mind's in torment Waiting to rot The final curtain Always draws it close When death is certain The end unfolds Paralytic disease infests your brain Debilitates your mind A vegetable wasting, decaying You're running out of time All I know is what you said Before the comas' grip Don't want to live your life brain dead To death you crave to slip The needle's pulled from in your arm The pulse of life has stopped Your granted plea, a painless death To arrive at the end you'd sought The cryptic statement - bonded truth Lie peaceful in your grave Did we just give up on you? I hope you have been saved... Death is certain Life is not Your mind lies dormant Proceeding to rot The final curtain Has drawn its close When death is certain The end unfolds!

Back when man had not care for the past And little hope for the future A man who stood out in the annals of time To tell of the actions to come The uncanny words of a clinical mind Turn of centuries bore his truth A mysterious being with a curious gift Nostradamus - chosen one His talent for reaching with a gaze Into the future unknown Conclusions drawn from inner haze As the seeds of time were sewn The fires, the plagues, the "men of blood" Foretold by prophetic eye Scourges upon lands he never stood Predicting our race to die Seeing the days Of hideous plague When nature released disease upon human race The damage was done Black death had won Pestilence, the start of Armageddon Torment and fire London expired The English lands became a massive funeral pyre Ruinous blaze The city was razed Due to the great London's fire, life was denied Now the people today understand and take heed His truthful words of the future they've seen The one who knew Where we'd stand In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land He'd seen the fear Upon the earth Hatred, death, and pain, four-hundred years worth A witness to Brutality And evil warmongers insanity His written words Upon the page Black prophecies!!! Nostradamus envisioned saviors of hate To reign subservient mass Attempting to alert us before it's too late We witnessed the evil that passed We watched all the wretched torment inflicted And shook our heads with grief And understood then what the seer predicted Beyond our conscious belief At war with a sick brain, Hitler was known To render a massive injustice Striking the Hebrews a mighty deathblow Guaranteeing his fate in the abyss The wars, the concentration camps Foretold, prophetic eye When the doomsayer became entranced He saw when our race will die Sinister minds Hate had them blind To the slaughter of innocent people - insidious crime Walking the earth The devil's rebirth The fuhrer the second son, Napoleon being the first Both Antichrists Brought anguish and strife Ruling the empires with a criminal sickening spite Gaseous showers With Hitler empowered Innocent Jewish honor forever raped and deflowered Now the people today understand and take heed His truthful words of the future they've seen The one who knew Where we'd stand In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land He'd seen the fear Upon the earth Hatred, death, and pain, four-hundred years worth A witness to Brutality And evil warmongers insanity His written words Upon the page Black prophecies!!!
