[Verse 1] [Verse 2] Blackened is the end. Winter it will send Blistering of earth terminate its worth Throwing all you see into obscurity Deadly nicotine kills what might have been Death of mother earth. Never a rebirth Callous frigid chill. Nothing left to kill Evolution's end. Never will it mend Never seen before. Breathing nevermore [Verse 3] Smoldering decay take her breath away Millions of our years in minutes disappears Darkening in vain. Decadence remains [Break] All is said and done. Never is the sun
