As Darkness Descends Lyrics


Battle lines are drawn, in the sand

So bitter foes will soak this land

With the blood spilled by selfish hands

Killing this world with demands!

Short of sight, long to regret,

Sow the poison we can’t accept,

The war is begun, let battle commence

Natures wrath to right Man’s offence

As Darkness descends from a dead sky, turn your faces up and ask; Why?

A sky burned and darkened by our greed, a sky falling as death we seed

Poison all rivers, choke life from the seas,

If we are symptom, what is disease?

Burn another forest, salt another land

Sacrifice to endless demand

Parasites crawling on passive host

Gaia’s body, will become her ghost

Show me the smoke, yes, show me the fire

Show me our funeral pyre

Bleeding Skies and boiling seas

We are symptom, we are disease.

Mass suicide, killing our world

For how long can nature hold?

Kill another species, rape another land,

We are cancer, we are damned

Turning this world into our tomb,

Sacrifice to our need to consume.
