Imperiled Eyes |
| Although a cliche subject in metal, fear of annihilation is something we’ve |
| all experienced at one time or another. |
| In this case, we try to decipher, |
| lyrically and musically, a set of reoccurring nightmares I used to frequently |
| have. |
| Centuries of war and waste |
| Have dealt a mortal blow |
| Mother earth begins to rot |
| Humanity on death row |
| Life does slowly cease to be |
| Death seems so surreal |
| As earth becomes a vacant lot |
| There’s nothing left to heal |
| No colour in the skies |
| No one left to blame |
| And we thought we were wise |
| As I fade, I feel revived |
| Shocked back into life |
| Opening imperilled eyes |
| Imperilled eyes |
| Cessation of physical life |
| Blackness rains from above |
| What right did power have |
| To annihilate the earth I loved |
| Now a barren wasteland |
| The die is cast |
| A planet that once did teem with life |
| No evidence of a past |
| No colour in the skies |
| No one left to blame |
| And we thought we were wise |
| As I fade, I feel revived |
| Shocked back into life |
| Opening imperilled eyes |
| Imperilled eyes |
| Centuries of war and waste |
| Have dealt a mortal blow |
| Mother earth is now no more |
| There’s nothing left to heal |
| No colour in the skies |
| No one left to blame |
| And we thought we were wise |
| As I fade, I feel revived |
| Shocked back into life |
| Opening imperilled eyes |
| Imperilled eyes |
