Once there was a time
darker than the human mind
the old man told me
If there was a light
it cried a while before it died
it died away

That night he told me
of the darkest time
With his own eyes he had
witnessed this crime

Once there was a place
before it was a realm of grace
not far from here
Ruined, raped and murdered
sunken deep to dark despair

Sky covered in
glowing clouds
Lasting night and winter
fatal atmosphere

Misery
Is there no end to this tragedy
How many tears
This darkest time
laughs at divinity
This darkest time
laughs at your fears

Once ther was a war
of a kind never seen before
poor stupid mankind
Brother killing brother
rulers crying out for more
always more

From distant swords
lands wet with blood
Games of slaughter
death the only goal
