lyrics

Bear witness
The prophetic rot comes to manifestation
Bodies of innocents tower in the streets
Mountains of decay - monuments to the ones of old

Fragments of earth hang in the atmosphere, this world at its end
Flashes of light flicker on the skyline illuminating the horrors of the cosmos

The formless one yawns once more
A crop sown now come to be reapt
The proverbial rite of sacrifice
A fate far worse than death

An army of wretched tear each other apart
Those who once feared, now embrace the contagion
Forced to wander the wasteland slaves to a primordial bloodlust
The will to destroy outweighing the will to live

An avalanche of destruction reaches its apex
Humankind on the precipice of extinction - this planet stifled with decay
Ripe for ingestion

The perpetual night draws to a close
The crawling chaos approaches
Culminating humanities tomb

The formless one yawns once more
A crop sown now come to be reapt
The proverbial rite of sacrifice
A fate far worse than death
