The Beginning of the End

There's a roaring war beneath the soil
A battle of blood and bone 
Lucifer usurped 
The Devil thrown from her twisted throne

False information from warring nations 
warped and well-received
Civilization caught in the noose of sense castration
Satan's spider and the web it weaved.

Complete destruction; chaos 
Lives: overpriced for what they cost
Sick residuals of faith swallowed by frustration 
A colossal lack of love 
Lost beneath the frost

Apathy and the lunatics raving
The tortuous Troubled, lost
The soothsayers playing
the future foretelling a state of jacked-up cost

The world cast in shadows
lost tongues of lightning enervating the midnight sky
New-borns take their first and last breath
In the blink of the eye they die.

The blinking orb of Jupiter 
Bleeds it's pale rays over hell
The banshees cackle at God shackled
In a thermonuclear jail

Dark currents of antimatter cascade idly down the walls 
There's an eternity of madness built up
Behind the haggard calls of all.

The crank-machines continue turning
The rusted cogs creak and groan
The innocent are not quite innocent
The garden of lies: overgrown

Their minds were taken from them
All the dreary winter days
The fire that fueled compassion 
Completely and absolutely 
Obliterated and erased.

This, the hideous face of holocaust

surfacing time and time again
From the parting seas of sorrow
To the beginning of the end.
