close  to  a  world  below  -  immolation

  silent  is  the  storm  that  awaits

  as  our  crumbling  world  starts  to  give  way

  falling  a  around  us  new  kingdom  rises

  billions  of  souls  sinking  and  sinking

  the  flames  from  below  dance  at  our  feet

  soon  to  rise  up  and  carry  us  through

  the  burning  gates  ablaze  in  glory

  marvel  at  the  fall  of  man

    glorious  flames...rise  above

  show  us  pain...and  cleanse  our  world

    our  selfish  eyes  see  no  wrong

  closer  and  closer  to  god  we  believe

  but  farther  and  farther  from  grace  we'll  fall

  closer  and  closer  to  our  kingdom  of  fire

  comfort  us  with  words  of  hope

  we  stare  into  the  coming  dark

  blanket  us  with  eternal  night

    the  sweetness  of  death  upon  lipsour  

    far  are  we...from  everlasting  joy

  close  are  we...to  a  world  below

  a  world  of  hate...a  world  of  pain

  a  world  too  blind  to  see

    a  world  of  judgments  ...a  world  of  sadness

  a  world  void  of  truth

  a  world  of  the  power  mad...a  world  of  corrupted  lives

  a  world  destroying  itself  ahead  of  it's  time

  a  world  of  lust...a  world  of  corrupted  lives

  a  world  of  lust...a  greedworld  of  

    bastard  son,  you  spread  your  arms  to  save  us  from  ourselves

  this  weak  attempt  has  failed  us  so,  just  like  your  fabled  father  above

  shadow  you've  cast  this  upon  our  world  still  conceals  the  light

  pick  a  so  god,  for  there's  no  one  left  that  can  save  us  from  our  end

  we'll  beg  for  life

    we'll  beg  for  forgiveness

  we'll  beg  for  pity

  we'll  beg  to  be  closer  to  god

  foolish  souls  will  never  see

  the  closer  to  god  the  closer  to  our  end

  christ  can't  for  undo  this  sorrow  and  pain

  for  when  he  died  his  soul  went  below

  glorious  flames...come  us  all

  bring  us  closer...to  a  god  below

  far  are  we...from  everlasting  joy

  close  are  we...to  a  world  below
