Drakwald - Doomsday Argument

Smelling the sweat, hearing the cry, I'm standing up with my men
All together in the sand of the field, we are waiting for our death

And the men yell the cry of the beginning of the end of our lives !

We're fighting for blood and glory
We are here to join the Valhalla

Smelling the sweat, hearing the cry, I'm standing up with my men

And the sword cutting the arms of the men who dare fighting me
I release the beast in me, I'm feeding with the blood of men
I'm raving with the battle's slaughter, I feel my soul quaking my head
I can't control myself any longer, I am the berserk inside you

I am the blood of wars coming from ancient times
You should fear me 'cause I'm here for you
I am the herald of death coming to never rest

And the men yell the cry of the beginning of the end of our lives !

We're fighting for blood and glory
We are here to join the Valhalla

And the sword cutting the arms of the men who dare fight me
I release the beast in me, I'm feeding with the blood of men
I'm raving of the slaughter of battle, I feel my soul quaking in my head
I can't control myself any longer, I am the berserk inside you

I see the blood everywhere, corpses of mine laying here
I can't believe what happened, this is just a complete nightmare

And for what, all this slaughter?
And for what, all this hatred?
You murder for your beliefs
Only causing this circle of hate

And we just dig deeper this chasm of ignorance

I see the blood everywhere, corpses of mine laying here
I can't believe what happened, this is just a complete nightmare

We spent our lives to fight each other, killing our brothers, raping our sisters
Our beliefs split us instead of joining us, we build this chasm between our ignorance

And now we bomb your homeland
And now we kill your brothers
This is a storm of pure anger
This is a never ending war

And we just dig deeper this chasm of ignorance

I see the blood everywhere, corpses of mine laying here
I can't believe what happened, this is just a complete nightmare

We spent our lives to fight each other, killing our brothers, raping our sisters
Our beliefs split us instead of joining us, we build this chasm between our ignorance

You! Come here and listen to the tale of the last men on Earth
Approach and see the lament of a decadent age's remains
You! Look at the future you building full of despair and fear
Do you really want to see your child with only ashes to live?
You! Man full of meanness regain control of your life
It's high time to start thinking the world you will settle
You! Look at your reflect into the mirror of life
Do you really want to see a man with no conviction?

We thought the Earth was eternal, we were not thinking of tomorrow

Here is the tale of a man who live the fall, we were all bind outdid by our own wealth

We burned the Earth like a woodpile
Ignoring any common sense, making money more important than life
But one day the sky became black
The air ignited and the Earth fell over

I cry! I fall in despair... This is not the life I want to live

It was predicted, all the signs warned us
But in our great pride we've choosen the ignorance
And now we're dying under the rain of ashes
Cursed be our greed, cursed be the men

This is the fall of Humankind
Oceans appear where mountains were
Poles reversed and snow falling
This is the end of everything

No more culture, no more towns, men release their deep wildness
and in this great disaster the reign of the beasts has begun

Come on! And see by yourself the fall of out greet age, our eternal civilisation

We thought we were immortal like the wind in the sky
We spend our lives to ruin nature as if that life belongs to us

Dark visions appears of an ancient world
Where towers were high and hearts all empty
People's wandering along the giant roads
Running through their lives like a stunned crowd

What is this madness? Is it really my ancestors who build these cities of dying lights?
Where are the trees? Where is the seed of life which allow all men to get along with nature?

The extinction seems impossible to avoid
You such a fool thinking you are immortal

I have seen enough, now I understand
When humankind go all wrong
They took all they wanted without any mildness
Spoiling and spoiling our precious Earth

It is now our time to rebuild the cities of the fallen men
But we can't found our new world on the base of the old one
We must now rethink our place in the immensity of the space
We must reinvent the way we live in this world full of ruins

I fell the spirit of the night rising up in my hands
I finally have the courage to erase by fire!

All the lies of the past, all the nonsense of the men
Will be destroy by the primal power of fire!

Think of what you did yesterday, are you really taking care?
Think of all the days of your life, did your acts really matter?
And if what you do today changes the world tomorrow

Come and take my hand, I will show you the word now
do not be afraid of the darkness of the sun
There is no more light of our precious star now
We live in the night of the endless black winter

It is time to rise and never look back again
It is time to build and never fall back again

We can only keep walking
There is no remains of the past
We have no choice than giving up
Our corrupted beliefs

Here come the flames, burning humanity
Here come the waves, erasing destiny

I see around me the sparks of life
The power to rebuild and avoid the mistakes of the past

Here comes a new kind of men who respect nature ant the pagan spirit
This is the rise of a new age, a new chance for Mankind, a new seed of life

In the first day of this new world old survivors rise and say that
"We must now erase the proofs of the past of the ancient world"

Can you hear the horns? Sounding from the depths
Can you see the sun? Burning its black Beams
The end is near, ocean's rising
Night is approaching, Mankind is dying!

Life is just a cycle, everything revolve
Death is not the end, all will rise again

The waves flood through the earth, fire burns lakes and forests
Smoke of the life fill the air, no one can escape the final day

I feel the strength leaving my body
I feel my soul rising in the air

Life is just a cycle, everything revolve
Death is not the end, all will rise again

Rebirth! I feel the blood through my veins, flowing again
Rebirth! I feel the air through my lungs, filling again

All around me is just ruins and chaos, but I an alive!

The waves flood through the earth, fire burns lakes and forests
Smoke of the life fill the air, no one can escape the final day
Shadows cover the earth, the eternal night has begun
But far in the horizon I can now see the dawn of hope
