Lyrics[]

Inception
Death's guiding us the way
We fight till the end
Among the ruins
Illusion
Of brighter days ahead
Through confusion and hatred, we try to understand
In silence, we stand alone
Caught in the eye
A quest for life beneath a stormy sky
The strength to rise again
Time to realise
Our race has come to nothing
We'll start it all again

The Sun is dead now
Fading away forever
The darkness prevails now
But with the prayers of the dead
Now a new light ascends from the stars

Confusion
The sadness and the pain
Matricide, the Earth is now dead
Remember the brighter days
When hope and joy were shining in our hearts
Times have changed now, we suffer yet try to understand
In silence, we stand alone
Caught in the eye
The fragments of my past to realise
It's time to rise again
In the world's demise
Our race has come to nothing
We'll start it all again

The Sun is dead now
Fading away forever
The darkness prevails now
But with the prayers of the dead
Now a new light ascends from the stars
The Sun is dead now
But in the end, what did we learn?

The Sun is dead now
Fading away forever
The darkness prevails now
But with the prayers of the dead
Now a new light ascends from the stars
Now a new light ascends from the stars
