The burning of an empire
Sin and corruption fuelled its fires
Punishment for their heresies
Now the waves rise up from the sea
It was foretold that death would reign from the sky
But nothing would prepare them for the way that they died
Volcanoes erupted as hell merged with earth
The planet's fury had completed its scourge
Grand palaces crumbled
The tallest of towers were tumbled
All traces of the living were swept out of sight
This planet destroyed a civilisation overnight
Witnessing the wrath of mother nature
Remembering that we can not enslave her
This should serve as a lesson to us all
If we don't change, then are we destined to fall
Grand palaces crumbled
The tallest of towers were tumbled
All traces of the living were swept out of sight
This planet destroyed a civilisation overnight
Now we're just waiting for the day
Our population's forced to pay
For what we've taken from the earth
We shall be shown just what we're worth
It was foretold that death would reign from the sky
But nothing would prepare them for the way that they died
Volcanoes erupted as hell merged with earth
The planet's fury had completed its scourge
