Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Blackened is the end

Winter it will send

Throwing all you see

Into obscurity

[Verse 2]

Death of Mother Earth

Never a rebirth

Evolution's end

Never will it mend

[Verse 3]

Never

No, never

[Verse 4]

Fire

To begin whipping dance of the dead

Blackened is the end

To begin whipping dance of the dead

Color my world blackened

[Verse 5]

Blistering of earth

Terminate its worth

Deadly nicotine

Kills what might have been

[Verse 6]

Callous frigid chill

Nothing left to kill

Never seen before

Breathing nevermore

[Verse 7]

Never

No, no, never

[Verse 8]

Fire

To begin whipping dance of the dead

Blackened is the end

To begin whipping dance of the dead

Color my world blackened

[Verse 9]

Opposition...

Contradiction...

Premonition...

Compromise

[Verse 10]

Agitation...

Violation...

Mutilation...

Planet dies

[Verse 11]

Darkest color

Blistered earth

True death of life

[Verse 12]

Termination...

Expiration...

Cancellation...

Human race

[Verse 13]

Expectation...

Liberation...

Population...

Lay to waste

[Verse 14]

See our mother

Put to death

See our mother die

[Verse 15]

Smoldering decay

Take her breath away

Millions of our years

In minutes disappears

[Verse 16]

Darkening in vain

Decadence remains

All is said and done

Never is the sun

[Verse 17]

Never

No, no, never

[Verse 18]

Fire

To begin whipping dance of the dead

Blackened is the end

To begin whipping dance of the dead

Color my world blackened

[Verse 19]

Color my world blackened

Color my world blackened

Color my world blackened

[Verse 20]

Color my world
