Lyrics

[01:51.720] FEAR
[01:51.900] The world now stands ancient showing her age
[01:53.460] Antique senile archaic
[01:54.510] Peroration impending not one to assuage
[01:57.320] The human remnants of earth
[01:59.510] Pandemic winds chill the soul
[02:01.320] Eradication of the will
[02:03.250] Nihilism extracts its toll
[02:05.190] Frightening the meekly servile
[02:07.690]
[02:14.800] Sacrosanct the religious ones
[02:16.610] Are fast becoming extinct
[02:18.600] Choatic precursors of what will befall
[02:20.790] Permeate the night air
[02:22.590] The fear of the end preys on the minds
[02:24.910] Of all the soon-to-be dead
[02:26.400] With death at the hands of a hideous fiend
[02:28.730] A grisly fate to comprehend
[02:32.010]
[02:38.150] This city is guilty
[02:39.280] The crime is life
[02:40.340] The sentence is death
[02:41.460] Darkness descends
[02:41.900]
[02:54.240] Internal combustion plutonic rage
[02:55.680] The bodies create their own hell
[02:57.670] The flame from within unleashed from its cage
[02:59.730] Purging the great sins of all
[03:01.600] Admissions of guilt are all that are sought
[03:03.660] By judges who have twisted laws
[03:05.600] The quick abrogation of the populace
[03:07.400] Striking with great enmity
[03:09.650]
[03:17.200] Listing the ways in which we will die
[03:19.260] As the prophets claim we will soon
[03:21.130] Self-immolation that unjustified
[03:22.940] Stygian shores ahead loom
[03:24.940] The coffins are ready the death warrant signed
[03:27.820] Depression has swiftly set in
[03:29.500] Inimical powers against humankind
[03:30.870] This charnelhouse ensanguined
[03:33.870]
[03:41.000] This city is guilty
[03:41.990] The crime is life
[03:43.060] The sentence is death
[03:43.870] Darkness descends
[03:47.240]
[04:34.940] Decaying the ruins fall swift to the ground
[04:36.560] The carnage is morbid and great
[04:37.800] Mephitic deathstench of corpses abound
[04:39.680] The earth meets an untimely fate
[04:41.820] The horrific malignance spreading its wings
[04:43.820] Across the expanse of the sky
[04:45.750] Contamination and all that it brings
[04:47.750] The judges commit genocide
[04:50.680]
[04:57.730] Retaliation a useless ploy
[04:59.480] We've gazed into the face of fear
[05:01.540] We know that it stands for our own bitter end
