Terror Comes at Dusk Lyrics


Once the howling starts

The engines’ roar wakes victims up

All staring at the black sky

Unaware of horrors they won’t survive

First fires casting eerie light

will reveal the beasts’ shape

-wild, bloodthirsty birds of prey

Their bellies filled with bombs,

released to reduce the city to ash

and break the spirit of inhabitants

There are no prayers -

-to be answered

no voice - to show a safe path

You, you cannot hide

from waves of sound

from stench of gore

You, you will know grief

for your past greed

for lost families

Witness the glory that takes your hearing,

tears your flesh, separates the living.

Your final moments are only you

and your transfer to the other side

Born of a vile mind

Tormenting living tissues

will to dominate or eradicate

You can hear them quilting down,

descending in order to kill,

to deal a devastating, final blow

You, you cannot hide

From waves of sound

From stench of gore

You, you will know grief

For your past greed

For lost families

Now prepare to die.

I watch you rats, meandering around the debris

traversing the rifts

Trying not to get crushed

Concrete is creating graves overhead,

coffins full of dust

Holes where you will rest

- Forever

The second light rises

Low upon horizon

It's time to leave the ruins we created

Before people abandon their shelters

When that happens-

We’ll be long gone

Waiting for another order to fight

You, you cannot hide

From waves of sound

From stench of gore

You, you will know grief

For your past greed

For lost families
