              [instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
blackened is the end
winter it will send
throwing all you see
into obscurity
death of mother earth
never her rebirth
evolution’s end
never will it mend
never

[chorus]
fire, to begin whipping dance of the dead
blackened is the end
to begin whipping dance of the dead
color our world blackened

[verse 2]
blistering of earth
terminate its worth
deadly nicotine
k!lls what might have been
callous frigid chill
nothing left to k!ll
never seen before
breathing nevermore
never
[chorus]
fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
blackened is the end
to begin whipping dance of the dead
color our world blackened

[post+chorus]
blackened!

[bridge]
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 laid to waste
see our mother
put to death
see our mother die
[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
smoldering 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

[chorus]
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

[post+chorus]
blackened!
