Only ruins remain
From the cruelest of wars
Cities veiled in toxic haze
The great fire burned all life to ash Metropolises occupied by skeletons

The last survivors wend their way
To escape from hell on earth
But it‘s only hell that hides
Behind desperate hopes
Though territory hostile to life
Becomes elusive haven

The sands of time elapse
Hellhounds pick up the scent of the prey
The bitter could in their hearts
Burns like the desert Sun
Marching on
Doomed they perish of blistering heat
As they fall thus spake the voice
Of the darkest lore

Trapped in a temple of fragileness
Stranded souls wrapped
In rotting flesh, life is dying
Self-imposed demise

Moribound since the olden days
He who sows the wind
Shall reap the whirlwind
Tragic but rightful fate
