The Dread Pestilence

Fulfilled prophecy, symbolically

Madness in the streets, catastrophe

Beginning of the end, the consequence

Take all this for granted, life’s contempt

The sun now fades away, the day is gone

Each of us, for ourselves, on our own

Wasn’t worth all this, the cold sets in

To curse my sanity, festering within

Darkness now consumes, the end draws near

Untold agony and suffering

Nothing left to give, ashes to dust

Soul withered away, corrode to rust

Nations go to war, anarchy reigns

Soldiers writhe in pain, all of them slain

Lifeless barren lands, nothing but flies

Dilapidated, a husk of earth now lies

The earth reborn

No time to mourn

Famine and death

No chance for heaven, the dread pestilence

Nothing left to fear, all hope is lost

The world is now engulfed in permafrost

The planet starts anew, but at what cost?

All life exhausts, genocidal holocaust

The earth reborn

No time to mourn

Famine and death

No chance for heaven, the dread pestilence
