Witness a world engulfed by flame
When you see the embers rise, embrace the darkness, and fight for your wretched lives
The fall of empires, commanded by their hand
Teeming with sin and death, come to an end
Their will remains to be, that of utter chaos
For one must rise above, a hero of great purpose
Fall to your knees, breathe in the ashes feel them burn within
This damned world falling, their demonic army spares no one
Observe the very sand beneath your feet, shatter like glass
Bellowing flames draw near, cling to hope for this will not last
Rise up, break these chains of inequity
Stand your ground against the, armies of this anomaly
Engulfed by flame, ascend through the heavens
Engulfed by flame, we will greet you in the end
Stand your ground, and bow to nothing
They came from dark space, beyond the outer rim, their origin unknown
For fabled legend speak of their tale residing in a universe, where their fate is sown
Silence knows your name, Abysmal knows your pain
The end draws near, fear not for death is the beginning
All hope is lost, turn your faces towards the sky
And hear the trumpet sound, the tongue of the ancients
Apocalyptic sanctity, for this world, shall no longer be
Break free of human emotion, for it will hold you down
The shadows draw near, enclosing upon your soul
O'Unholy one, bring forth this world of illusion
Allow us to cleanse this broken land and decimate the threat of man
Exact revenge, for the fallen ones, until this world is damned
Exact revenge, for until our souls ascend, this world will be damned
