Woe To He, That This Great Darkness Seeks To Embrace
Woe To He, That This Great Darkness Seeks To Embrace
When blind man sees that pale horse in night skies
innocence births waterfalls with its cries
dawn rejects the cock's ringing morning crow
mid-summer lashes earth with ice and snow
Mother Nature stops its blessings and weeps
you will know that Death and Fate play for keeps.
When vengeful sun burns dying moon away
as night's blackness and its shadows hold sway
man in turmoil, accuses all the more
those falling to kneel, for help they implore
divine intervention to save us all
from evil's hands and that last trumpet call.
When darkness, its powers seeks souls to slay
women and children, pawns with which it plays
ground heaving, erupts and with gasping moans
scorches oceans and burns even the stones
as world denies this tribulation curse
mankind will race from bad to even worse.
When faith and hope are deemed to be false dreams.
Earth and sky will moan loud, sorrowful screams.
