Blackened

(Hetfield,Ulrich,Newsted)


Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend

Never

     Fire
     To begin whipping dance of the dead
     Blackened is the end
     To begin whipping dance of the dead
     Color our world blackened

Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

Never

     Fire
     To begin whipping dance of the dead
     Blackened is the end
     To begin whipping dance of the dead
     Color our world blackened

          Blackened

Opposition...contradiction...premonition...compromise
Agitation...violation...mutilation...planet dies
     Darkest color
     Blistered earth
     True death of life

Termination....expiration...cancellation...human race
Expectation...liberation...population...lay to waste
     See our mother
     Put to death
     See our mother die

Smouldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never

     Fire
     To begin whipping dance of the dead
     Blackened is the end
     To begin whipping dance of the dead
     Fire
     Is the outcome of hypocrisy
     Darkest potency
     In the exit of humanity
     Color our world blackened

          Blackened
