Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chains of despair cloaked by darkness
The thundering echo
Of great destruction to come
Mankind's mysteries, the dying world
The dying world
[Verse 2]
Madness in it's sweetest form
What shrivels and dies must face the tempest
The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew
[Verse 3]
Anticipation mender through madness
Condemned to the same horrid fate
Insanity applauds, how sharp the awakening
Pale as disease
Mocking, maddening, give up the ghost
Cease the gloomy awakening
[Verse 4]
The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew
[Verse 5]
Anticipation mender through madness
Condemned to the same horrid fate
Insanity applauds
How sharp the awakening
Pale as disease
Mocking, maddening, give up the ghost
Cease the gloomy awakening
[Verse 6]
Misery foretold
The hidden stigmata
Totally annihilating the ecstasies innumerable
Materialize the vision, give up the ghost
Cease the gloomy awakening
[Verse 7]
Madness in it's sweetest form
[Verse 8]
What shrivels and dies must face the tempest
The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew
