Letra de ' Darkness Descends ' de Dark Angel

The world now stands ancient, showing her age
Antique, senile, archaic
Peroration impending, not one to assuage
The human remnants of Earth
Pandemic winds chill the soul
Eradication of the will
Nihilism extracts its toll
Frightening the meekly servile
Sacrosanct, the religious ones
Are fast becoming extinct
Chaotic precursors of what will befall
Permeate the night air
Fear of the end preys on the minds
Of all the soon-to-be dead
With death at the hands of a hideous fiend
A grisly fate to comprehend

This city is guilty, the crime is life
The sentence is death, darkness descends
This city is guilty, the crime is life
The sentence is death, darkness descends
City is guilty, crime is life
Sentence is death, darkness descends
City is guilty, crime is life
Sentence is death, darkness descends

Internal combustion, plutonic rage
Bodies create their own hell
Flame from within, unleashed from its cage
Purging the great sins of all
Admissions of guilt are all that are sought
By judges who have twisted laws
The quick abrogation of the populace
Striking with great enmity
Listing the ways in which we will die
Prophets claim we will soon
Self-immolation that unjustified
Stygian shores ahead loom
The coffins are ready, the death warrant signed
Depression has swiftly set in
Inimical powers against humankind
This charnel house ensanguined

This city is guilty, the crime is life
The sentence is death, darkness descends
This city is guilty, the crime is life
The sentence is death, darkness descends
City is guilty, crime is life
Sentence is death, darkness descends
City is guilty, crime is life
Sentence is death, darkness descends!

Decaying ruins fall swift to the ground
Carnage is morbid and great
Mephitic deathstench of corpses abound
The Earth meets an untimely fate
Horrific malignance spreading its wings
Across the expanse of the sky
Contamination and all that it brings
The judges commit genocide
Retaliation, a useless ploy
We've gazed into face of fear
We know that it stands for our own bitter end
End, we realize, is now here
Claws of denouement grasp at our lungs
Asphyxiation rules supreme
Future of mankind cut down while they're young
Our children die clutching their dreams

This city is guilty, the crime is life
The sentence is death, darkness descends
This city is guilty, the crime is life
The sentence is death, darkness descends
City is guilty, crime is life
Sentence is death, darkness descends
City is guilty, crime is life
Sentence is death, darkness descends!
