Verse:
Dm
Two thousand fattened years like maniacs,
Bb A
Have despoiled our common grave.
Dm Bb
So now what necrophagous Second Coming backs,
A Dm
From the cradle to enslave?
Sickle constellations;
Stud the belts that welt the sky.
Whilst the bitter winter moon,
Prowls the cloud, dead-eyed.
Like shifting parent flesh,
Under silk matricide...
Watchful as she was upon Eden
Where every rose arbour and orchard she swept
Hid the hissing of a serpent Libido
In an ancient tryst with catastrophe
Soon the be kept
A Refrain: Dm Fm
Fm Dm
Hear the hissing now on the breeze
F#m Dm
As through the plundered groves of the carnal
Fm Dm F#m
Garden. A fresh horror blows but ten billion souls
Dm
Are blind to see the rotting wood for the trees
This is the theme to a better Armageddon
Night chords rake the heavens
PAN DAEMON AEAON
A Refrain: Dm Fm
And what use are prayers to that god?
As devils bay consensus for the space to piss
On your smouldering faith
And the mouldering face
Of this world long a paradise lost
Chorus:
Bb A Dm
This is the end of everything
Bb A
Hear the growing chord that a new dawn shall bring
Verse:
Dance macabre neat the tilt of the zodiac
Now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate
What sick nativities will be freed when those lights burn black?
The dark side of the mirror always threw our malice back...
Post Chorus: Piano (Played like the Chorus):
I see the serpentine in your eyes
The nature of the beast as revelations arrive
C Refrain:
F#m Dm
Our screams shall trail to Angels
F#m Dm Fm F#m
For those damned in flames repay
Dm F#m Dm Fm
All sinners lose their lot on Judgement Day
F#m Dm
We should have cut our looses as at Calvary
F#m Dm Fm
But our hearts like heavy crosses held the vain belief
F#m Dm
Salvation, like a promised nation
F#m Dm Fm
Gleamed a claim away...
(Played like C-Refrain):
This is the end of everything you have ever known
Buried like vanquished reason
Death is season
Drive like the drifting snow
Peace, a fragile lover, left us fantasising war
On our knees or another f**ker's shore
Healing new flesh
Read, then roared
To a crooked cross and a Holy Cause
What else be whipped to frenzy for?
Chorus:
This is the end of everything
Rear the tragedies
That the Seraphim shall sing
Verse:
Old adversaries
Next to Eve
Now they're clawing back
I smell their coming
As through webbed panes of meat
Led by hoary Death
They never left
Dreaming sodomies
To impress on human failure
When we've bled upon our knees
Verse:
Tablatures of gravel law
Shall see Gehennah paved
When empires fall
And nightmares crawl
From the cradle to enslave....
Chorus:
This is the end of everything
(Repeat until end):
