Across the lake of fire Through the deserts of decay The flames are burning higher In this land of death you're easy prey Black Earth Save - Our - Souls Looking back in anger At the twentieth century Tormented we surrender In artificial serenity Twisted, torn and burnt Violation of the crust Man got what man deserved Turned the future into dust A millinery failure The dark age has returned Waiting for a miracle To save the common herd "In a century of darkness The horror spreads within - As our planet stops to turn All hope is lost for man"
