Everything  Went  Black  -  The  Black  Dahlia  Murder

Crawling  the  walls  through  every  crack  and  crevice  teems

Blackness  washing  over  the  windowpanes,  painting  the  buildings  in  between

Creeping  down  the  alley  ways,  consuming  every  street

Soundless  swarm  of  nothingness  sure  to  doom  us  all

Pulling  screaming  earthlings  into  its  toothless  jaws

Endlessly  beginning;  spreading  with  no  sign  of  stop

Horror  of  horrors  truly  maddening  in  size

Running  just  prolongs  the  end;  inevitably  it  strides

Where  has  it  come  from?  How  can  it  be  stopped?

So  quickly  we're  to  meet  our  end,  our  empire  we  have  lost

Karmatic  armageddon  no  religion  could  foresee

A  planet  once  forsaken;  not  even  a  memory

Streetlights  bend  into  the  void;  cars  enveloped  whole

Darkness  deeper  than  a  blindman's  sleep  soon  to  paint  the  world

Insatiable  its  hunger,  it  drinks  the  sea  without  a  belch

Stretching  to  the  other  side  where  it  is  sure  to  meet  itself

Unearthly  vacuum  devouring  the  hourglass  now  empty

It's  time  to  say  goodbye,  watching  your  life  flash  before  mortal  eyes

Terror  fills  your  heart;  screams  of  anguish  greet  your  ears

Living  death;  voracious,  insidious,  impervious  to  damage  we  are  slaughtered  as  if  lambs

Horror  of  horrors  truly  maddening  in  size

Running  just  prolongs  the  end;  inevitably  it  strides

Where  has  it  come  from?  How  can  it  be  stopped?

So  quickly  we're  to  meet  our  end;  our  empire  we  have  lost

Karmatic  armageddon  no  religion  could  foresee

A  planet  once  forsaken;  not  even  a  memory
