The long night - this protracted darkness that we all see when we look out to the broader modern world. Whether it be through the blackened looking glass of modern media, or just outside our own homes, this too will pass. Dishonour the promise of mutual annihilation.

lyrics

Verse I:

Dusk fall, marching forward into the dying light.
Solstice of our longest night, no edge in sight.
Threshold, the verge we’ll cross into unfurling black beyond.
Destruction resplendent.
Hail the breaking of the World.

Chorus:

Dearth and its dread,
No dirge for the dead.
Scream the promise of mutual annihilation.
Grand collapse, curse of inaction.
The great serpent coils and leers.

Verse II:

Vexation, the creator.
Egregious acts of oppression reign.
Dire times, greed & scorn.
The son is dead, the veil is torn.
Scourge the coil with terror and toil,
We saw this coming.
Damnation resplendent.
Hail the breaking of the World.

Chorus:

Dearth and its dread,
No dirge for the dead.
Scream the promise of mutual annihilation.
Grand collapse, curse of inaction.
The great serpent coils and leers.

Bridge:

Domineered by false Kings,
Whom depredate soil and soul.
Whilst the idle drown in blackened glass.
Catastrophe self-inflicted.

Chorus:

Dearth and its dread,
No dirge for the dead.
Scream the promise of mutual annihilation.

Coda:

Dishonour the promise of mutual annihilation.
