I had a vision of things to come
A waking nightmare of tomorrow
No living thing survived
The holocaust of sorrow
Chaos erupts at the very first sign
Biological agents coursing through the spine
Infected blood soaks the trail of tears
Indiscriminant killer evoking our fears
Too much carnage – Bodies in the streets
Let them rot – The vultures need to eat
Riots over race – Fighting for food
A civil collapse – Value system skewed
These are the final days
The beginning of the end
Lifting the veil
Of Armageddon
Next comes the fire delivered by the king
A poison cloud of fallout touches every living thing
Some are burned most get sick they all want to die
They look up to the silent heavens for a reason why
The animals are dead – The plants won’t grow
Sizzling acid rain – Irradiated glow
There is nothing left – To help them survive
They turn on one another – And eat each other alive
These are the final days
The beginning of the end
Lifting the veil
Of Armageddon
They’re feeding vegans to pagans
The meek don’t inherit a thing
For those unwilling to kill
At the end of a rope they swing
The wicked aren’t judged
The pure are not rewarded
They all die the same
They’re souls are aborted
This is not an act of God
Or by Satan’s hand
The bringer of catastrophe
Is simply mortal man
After the flames comes the frost
Eternal winter signals all hope is lost
The strongest of the strong fall beneath the ice
Mankind is gone, a self-inflicted sacrifice
These are the final days
The beginning of the end
Lifting the veil
Of Armageddon
The end began with greed, corruption, and lust
The cities were destroyed, monuments turned to dust
The human hand built a system that is rotten
Wiped from the face of the Earth, man will be forgotten
