Lyrics: Johan Liiva/Michael Amott

Across the lake of fire

Through the deserts of decay

The flames are burning higher

In this land of death you're easy pray

Chorus:

Black Earth

Save…Our…Souls

Looking back in anger

At the twentieth century

Tormented we surrender

In artificial serenity

Twisted, torn and burnt

Violation of the crust

Man got what man deserved

Turned the future into dust

Lead – Michael

A millenary failure

The dark age has returned

Waiting for a miracle

To save the common herd

"In a century of darkness

The horror spreads within…

As our planet stops to turn

All hope is lost for man"

Lead - Christopher
