A grey and sunless sky above
Lies heavy on the earth
Fire storms acid rain
Celebrating birth
Fall on down to corpses
Rotting in the streets
Baste in their own blood upon
The pavement from the heat

Maggots crawl
From festering sores
Soon will turn to flies
Spread disease across the land
To the lucky who've survived
Minds asleep are restless
With reminiscent desire
Sinners writhe in pain
And fright baptism by fire

Cities once great
Of stone and steel
Now lie black and burning
Drifting far and fast away
A dying world stops turning
A shroud of darkness
Steals the earth
Its solar womb
Hopelessly I've given up
Prepared to meet my doom
