Threnody Lyrics

Prophet:
"I have seen the affliction
I am a witness of wrath
All around me is darkness and death
This insufferable ruin and destruction

Leaders of Earth would not believe
Nor the people of the World
Our forefathers sinned and are no more
Now their punishment is ours to bear"

Prophet:
"Will none escape?
Who can survive?
Is nowhere safe?
Will there be left - any alive?"

Reprobate:
"It's all we know - this misery and woe
What we have wrought - this terrible lot
Such guilt and pain - wasted and slain
Sorrows and tears - fainting from fears

Famine and hunger - nothing to plunder
Emaciated children of pitiless squalor
Distressing fame, of sin and shame
This is our wage - we're all to blame!"

Prophet/Reprobate:
"Will none escape?
Who can survive?
Is nowhere safe?
Will there be left - any alive?" (2x)

Pansophist:
"Even to repent would be a lie, just to survive!" (3x)

Prophet:
"I tried to warn!
I tried to warn! - You would not believe!
I tried to warn! - You would not believe!
You would not believe!"

Presbyter:
"It is right to judge
You are the only One
Who has a right to judge
You gave the life they wasted" (2x)

Prophet/Reprobate:
"Will none escape?
Who can survive?
Is nowhere safe?
Will there be left - any alive?" (2x)
