Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across the spectral fields
This landscape is not without a sense of epic wonder
A vast scale that places this sprawling underworld into a realm of flames
[Verse 2]
With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating all directions over this smoldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation
These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approach one another in an unpleasant ways
Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express its state
Created in a shape to accommodate
A wide variety of demonic forms
The realm of the benighted
Aristocracy of evil most pure
[Verse 3]
This is where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep
[Verse 4]
Emerged from the depths of the earth, gasps
It rages against mankind
To annihilate the earth and worse
It spills the blood like rain
The beauty of death, it represents
[Verse 5]
Devouring their flesh with a razor-blade smile
Genes would still blindly carry on smoldering ember of hell
Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush
That sweep all traces of time, place and pattern
[Verse 6]
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across the spectral fields
This landscape is not without a sense of epic wonder (Wonder)
A vast scale that places this sprawling underworld into a realm of flames
[Verse 7]
With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating all directions over this smoldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation
These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approach one another in an unpleasant ways
Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express its state
[Verse 8]
Total death in every nation
Monuments of vanquished civilization (Civilization)
Just as brilliantly removed, ruthlessly eliminated
The cornerstone of human emotions
Has now been drained away
I saw death of a most uncommon nature
