Descent Lyrics


malum extrinsecus serpit; fons est ignotus.

homo caecus claudicat dum semina seruntur;

tum crucietur, nam bellum est certum:

elementis orientibus finis est certus

Twisted and winding, the path is unclear

Fires and screaming, a hellish forge of fear

What is this place? Laughter echoes as I scream

Agonising terror, am I dying in a dream?

Nightmares unveil before my eyes

Brothers at war under blackened skies

Mankind shall scream

At their fallen regime

And I am dying in a dream

Towers are falling, I don’t understand

Savage storms are raging; it’s all out of hand

Curse this place! My head is throbbing with ail

Then, a flash of lightning comes to tear away the veil

Nightmares unveil before my eyes

Brothers at war under blackened skies

Mankind shall scream

At their fallen regime

And I am dying in a dream

Evil spreads outwards; the source is unknown

Man stumbles blindly as the seeds are sown

Then shall he suffer, for War is assured

Elements rise and his end is secured

The smoke has dissipated, my mind is finally clear

I know what lies behind these images of fear

A warning has come, to me and only me

A solitary soul and a charge: to make them see

Nightmares unveil before my eyes

Brothers at war under blackened skies

Mankind shall scream

At their fallen regime

And I, I’m dying in a dream
