Can you hear the sharp shrieks
Of the winds above our heads?
They carry the cries of the dying
And the stench of bones
And did you see
The cold light in blue hue
That drove before it in haste
He is here, the great executioner
Coming to lay waste the nations
As times before, like clockwork
Our cities to become as graves
We’ve had our time
Of joyful dance
And of love
But the hall is to end now
Come hardship
The time of hate and loathing
Gallows poles
And shallow graves
Years of weeping and longing
Are not to be through soon
We witness the fall of the heavenly hosts
And the rise of the obliterating flame
From the cracks of the Earth
