"Although a cliche subject in metal, fear of annihilation is something we've all experienced at one time or another. in this case, we try to decipher, lyrically and musically, a set of reoccurring nightmares I used to frequently have."



Centuries of war and waste

Have dealt a mortal blow

Mother earth begins to rot

Humanity on death row

Life does slowly cease to be

Death seems so surreal

There's nothing left to heal



No colour in the skies

No one left to blame

And we thought we were wise

As I fade, I feel revived

Shocked back into life

Opening imperilled eyes

Imperilled eyes



Cessation of physical life

Blackness rains from above

What right did power have

To annihilate the earth I loved

Now a barren wasteland

The die is cast

A planet that once did teem with life

No evidence of a past



No colour in the skies

No one left to blame

And we thought we were wise

As I fade, I feel revived

Shocked back into life

Opening imperilled eyes

Imperilled eyes



Centuries of war and waste

Have dealt a mortal blow

Mother earth is now no more

There's nothing left to heal



No colour in the skies

No one left to blame

And we thought we were wise

As I fade, I feel revived

Shocked back into life

Opening imperilled eyes

Imperilled eyes
