Dark Angel - Perish in Flames / Darkness Descends Lyrics


Your orders are given, the time for destruction is now

They'll give you no reason, you'll be the first so be proud

They've tracked you on radar, the fighters will lead to attack

The terror will freeze you, because you know you might not make it back

Gods of war have gone insane

You've played with fire, you're to blame

Perish in flames

Perish in flames

Take a stand for what is right

Time is now so make the fight

Perish in flames

Die in flames, die

You've locked onto target, the missiles stand ready to launch

Your mind bleeds in terror, destination lines up in path

Your final descent, the bird of prey unleashes its wrath

You've pulled the trigger, the world goes insane so you laugh

Gods of war have gone insane

You've played with fire, you're to blame

Perish in flames

Perish in flames

Take a stand for what is right

Time is now so make the fight

Perish in flames

Die in flames, die

The world burns below you, innocent people now die

You're stricken with remorse, though much is your loss you don't cry

You clench up in anger, for war is stupidity

For mankind it's too late, and you are the last to see

Gods of war have gone insane

You've played with fire, you're to blame

Perish in flames

Perish in flames

Take a stand for what is right

Time is now so make the fight

Perish in flames

Die in flames

Perish in flames

Die in flames... die!!!

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
