Descent Lyrics

malum extrinsecus serpit; fons est ignotus.
homo caecus claudicat dum semina seruntur;
tum crucietur, nam bellum est certum:
elementis orientibus finis est certus

Twisted and winding, the path is unclear
Fires and screaming, a hellish forge of fear
What is this place? Laughter echoes as I scream
Agonising terror, am I dying in a dream?

Nightmares unveil before my eyes
Brothers at war under blackened skies
Mankind shall scream
At their fallen regime
And I am dying in a dream

Towers are falling, I don’t understand
Savage storms are raging; it’s all out of hand
Curse this place! My head is throbbing with ail
Then, a flash of lightning comes to tear away the veil

Nightmares unveil before my eyes
Brothers at war under blackened skies
Mankind shall scream
At their fallen regime
And I am dying in a dream

Evil spreads outwards; the source is unknown
Man stumbles blindly as the seeds are sown
Then shall he suffer, for War is assured
Elements rise and his end is secured

The smoke has dissipated, my mind is finally clear
I know what lies behind these images of fear
A warning has come, to me and only me
A solitary soul and a charge: to make them see

Nightmares unveil before my eyes
Brothers at war under blackened skies
Mankind shall scream
At their fallen regime
And I, I’m dying in a dream
