lyrics

A member of the council found
ancient scriptures carved in stone
hidden deep below
in the wisemen’s senate house.
Old priests shudder in fear
Hell in Earth will come for real.
What they had found
was the song of Prophet Josh.
Fire, death and blood.
The song tells the extinction of
a civilization lost
many centuries ago.

Sun won’t be rising no more son.
Infinite darkness is bound to come.

Noah told Josh:
“Ash is what we will become”
“Find me room in the ground,
somewhere I can rest my bones”
“Bury me in the coal”
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Sun won’t be rising no more son.
Infinite darkness is bound to come.

“Knights, kings, ghouls and ghosts,
ash is what you turned into”
“Raven, cawing my song,
Will you bury me below?”
“Father, please hold on,
can I have a last smoke?”

Sun won’t be rising no more son.
Infinite darkness is bound to come.

Panic in crowded streets
As the prophecy is revealed.
Setting sun will show
the end of life as it is known.
