1. THE RECKONING

(Instrumental)


2. STORM BEFORE CALM

The quake hits - reigning flames -
arising clouds - shaking ground

Starting to run - escape from death
Hopeless - in this destructive mess

Cruel awakening... trembling fear... ground cracks open
Fire's creeping toward us... violently raging on
Pandemonium... sudden death... enter chaos
The creation of mankind... utterly destroyed

The dust clears away... humans died
Constructions blown away... panic starts
Like a deadly plague... breeding threat
Effects of the quake

A strike without a warning
No time to mourn for the loss
Scenes of terror and death
The storm before the calm

There is a mass of ruins
Great deal of damage is done
Scenes of horror and pain
The storm before the calm

Bridges shatter - fractured roads -
intense nightmare - running slow

The mainshock ends- aftershock prevails
Reckless - in this chaotic blast

Cruel awakening... trembling fear... ground cracks open
Fire's creeping toward us... violently raging on
Pandemonium... sudden death... enter chaos
The creation of mankind... utterly destroyed

The dust clears away... humans died
Constructions blown away... panic starts
Like a deadly plague... breeding threat
Effects of the quake

A strike without a warning
No time to mourn for the loss
Scenes of terror and death
The storm before the calm

There is a mass of ruins
Great deal of damage is done
Scenes of horror and pain
The storm before the calm

Intense nightmare running slow

The violent campaign of the gods
It's time for the payment of sins
Trapped victims cry out in pain
Many of the people were killed
What seems to be once ours
Consumed with a blistering pace
Man appears paralyzed
And faces its fate

The violent campaign of the gods
It's time for the payment of sins
Trapped victims cry out in pain
Many of the people were killed
What seems to be once ours
Consumed with a blistering pace
Man appears paralyzed
... in the epicentre of death


3. FORSAKEN GRAVES

Ocean pulled back... blue dark wall... no regret
Nature's war... out to attack... it comes back
Abnormal tide... mesmerized

Forsaken graves - this gallery of misery
Sirens scream - a life erasing tragedy
Forsaken graves - the wave opened its awesome mouth
Merciless - it swallowed all life down

Dead... so many innocent drowned
Thousands died... and were never found
The bereaved couldn't bury their dead
To find eternal rest

Forsaken graves - this gallery of misery
Sirens scream - a life erasing tragedy
Forsaken graves - the wave opened its awesome mouth
Merciless - it swallowed all life down

When the wave enter the shallow shore
It slows down, increases so powerful
Earthquakes occurred beneath the sea
Seismic killing spree

...a seismic killing spree ...forsaken graves...

When the wave enter the shallow shore
It slows down, increases so powerful
Earthquakes occurred beneath the sea
Seismic killing spree

Death... like a beast... it hunts... to destroy!!!


4. DUNGEON

First the roof was falling... then floor... after floor
Everything was moving... it all broke down

"What happened?... What happened to me?
What happened?... What happened to me?"

Trapped in silence... fearful and alone
It's hard to breathe... in this doomed tomb

"It is dark!... I don't know where I am!
It is dark!... I don't know where I am!"

For frantic hours I'm diggin' with my bare hands
Exhausted and scared
It feels like ages... am I still alive?
Or am I dreaming with open eyes?

Struggling for my life... for my life
In the wreckage... wreckage

Unbreakable chains - invincible force
Undetected - imprisoned below
In this dungeon death reaches me
Embedded under debris

Buried alive... soon to die...
buried alive... soon to be dead

The most brutal experience... I have ever made
Cold sweat and blood... I need to be calm

"My heart beats... with a magnitude of ten!
My heart beats... with a magnitude of ten!"

For frantic hours I'm diggin' with my bare hands
Exhausted and scared
It feels like ages... am I still alive?
Or am I dreaming with open eyes?

Struggling for my life... for my life
In the wreckage... wreckage

Unbreakable chains - invincible force
Undetected - imprisoned below
In this dungeon death reaches me
Embedded under debris

Buried alive... soon to die...
buried alive... soon to be dead

Help me... I hear them digging
Uh I am dying - I'm on my own
The roof of my dungeon
It is trembling... it's collapsing - oh no


5. APOCALYPTIC AFTERMATH

An asteroid crushed into the deep dark sea...
The temperatures explode... arising cruelty
A storm hunting for death... faster than everything before
This is the dark side of nature

The hypercane rages on
Extinction and annihilation
The universe exhales death
The aftermath

The hypercane rages on
Extinction and annihilation
The universe exhales death
Apocalypse aftermath

The death-bringing cloud reaches for the stars
The ultraviolet light touches the earth
There are huge amounts of rain flooding the ground
A severe loss of everything... disruption of mankind

Apocalypse aftermath
Apocalypse aftermath

Apocalypse aftermath
Apocalypse aftermath

A theory conquers reality

There are the signs of demise
This is the carnival of decline
A fevered struggle for life
No survival!!!


6. AS NATURE TURNS EVIL (THE SLEEPER AWAKES)

As nature turns evil

The ground began to shake
Seconds later all were dead
That's how little warning they had
It did not provide the usual warning signs
Of an imminent eruption

Hot gases, ash and rook fragments escape
From below endangering the life of all
Lava flows to burn or bury everything
That comes across... glowing avalanche

Pyroclastic flows so hot and choking
That if one is caught in certainly be killed
Millions of metric tons of sulphur dioxide
Blasted into the atmosphere

Blood, roar, death... the sleeper awakes
Constant menace... the sleeper awakes
Total wipeout... the sleeper awakes
Sudden violence... the sleeper awakes

As nature turns evil... eruption out of hell
As nature turns evil... the inferno

Blood, roar, death... the sleeper awakes
Constant menace... the sleeper awakes
Total wipeout... the sleeper awakes
Sudden violence... the sleeper awakes

As nature turns evil... the sleeper awakes
As nature turns evil...


7. MIASMA

Disease was rampant... God's punishment for sin
Black death pandemic... the state of suffering
The plague struck fast... danger to life and limb
Extermination dispersed so grim

Victims died within days in agony and despair
Cold crawling death... corpses everywhere

Miasma... the plague reigned on earth
A poisonous and infectious curse
The bells tolled to announce more deaths
Miasma - the souls laid to rest

The breath of the black death...

It spread so swiftly town after town consumed
The sick were shut in graves of stone and loam
The doors nailed, marked with a large red cross
Left to die... this place was doomed and lost

Victims died within days in agony and despair
Cold crawling death... corpses everywhere

Miasma... the plague reigned on earth
A poisonous and infectious curse
The bells tolled to announce more deaths
Miasma - the souls laid to rest

The breath of the black death...

Black death struck fast (x4)

Miasma... the plague reigned on earth
A poisonous and infectious curse
The bells tolled to announce more deaths
Miasma - the souls laid to rest

The breath of the black death...

As fast as the thrill began
Authorities tried to explain
The sickness reported and found

Scavengers who cleaned up the streets
The watchers who guarded the scene
Searchers to find out who'd died
Mankind had to survive


8. THE FEVER PITCH

I see this world has to die
Terrifying decline
Reaping fear... killing spree
Brutal powers unleashed

We are crossing the line
At fever pitch of denial

Now we descend into hate
Eternal darkness awaits
All life's lost... creeping death
The world's remaining dead

Burnt by the time and the scorn of revenge
Longing for the total eclipse
Cruel is the failure of man
A feast for the apocalypse
Burnt by the lies and the pain of revenge
Longing for the total eclipse
Dark is the failure of man
A feast for the apocalypse

Kill... to destroy hidden chains
Be a part of the sickening games
Haunting burst... crushing force
Peace without remorse

We are crossing the line
At fever pitch of denial

Burnt by the time and the scorn of revenge
Longing for the total eclipse
Cruel is the failure of man
A feast for the apocalypse
Burnt by the lies and the pain of revenge
Longing for the total eclipse
Dark is the failure of man
A feast for the apocalypse

The children of scorn
The human plague is torn

Burnt the seed of ages
Crush the seed to dust
While the days of wrath
We have sworn to death

Architects of violence... architects of hell
Architects of murder... in the abyss we dwell
Architects of riots... Architects of might
Architects of fury... we are led by spite

All our nightmares are becoming real
Crossing the line at fever pitch of denial


9. RADIATION BREATH

There was a sudden power output surge
A deadly technique intones the dirge
Blast, shockwave and radiation
A new kind of abomination

The air itself is sucked up
And seems to catch fire
The structures crumble like dust
Contamination reigns
Radiation breath

Some energy creates
An electromagnetic pulse
To destroy the electrical... circuits

The air itself is sucked up
And seems to catch fire
The structures crumble like dust
Contamination reigns
Radiation breath

The potential to destroy the entire world
There is so much heat and extreme light

The intention to destroy the entire world
It scorches everything... an extreme might

In the days, weeks and month to follow
The sun hides behind the clouds
The nuclear winter covers
The earth with a shroud

The air itself is sucked up
And seems to catch fire
The structures crumble like dust
Contamination reigns
Radiation breath


10. SINNERS REPENT

The obsolete realm is fading like a shadow
Black turns the light there is no tomorrow
The death bringing purpose at last to reveal
Retribution was long to be concealed

The last generation born on earth
Who's going to remember this world
No one will... a curse to whom who will descend
In eternity all sinners repent!

After the clash with darkness you will cower
The other side now shows its power
Tattered by its quiet storm
An invisible all consuming form

The last generation born on earth
Who's going to remember this world
No one will... a curse to whom who will descend
In eternity all sinners repent!

Fist of reckoning smites the ground - fearful to behold
The blessings of the fierce decline - a world seems so cold

Sinners... sinners... sinners... repent

Fist of reckoning smites the ground - fearful to behold
The blessings of the fierce decline - a world seems so cold

Sinners... sinners... sinners... repent

The voices hold no promise... only threat
An uncompromised revolt of the dead
The upcoming age gathers all the scorn
Straight out of hell purity's reborn
