A flash of destruction Like a blaze cut through the night The heavens on fire They were glowing in unholy light Your sudden assault Broke all the dreams of unification The hunger for power It's the lash of civilisation Despaired and in pain - all seems so in vain Fires in the sky Defenceless we stand tonight we will die Shadows of the end The Kingdom will fall life it will finally descend Percieve what you've done and repent Careless we thought All you do is to bark at the moon But in the grip of fury You have conjured The dawning of doom Is this our fate - wiped out by your hate Fires in the sky Defenceless we stand tonight we will die Shadows of the end The Empire will fall life it will finally descend Goddess of the seas let us rest in peace In her cold embrace we will find our graves Silence will set in - will existance begin - again Fires in the sky Helpless we stand Defenceless we'll die Shadows of the end The Kingdom will fall life will descend Fires in the sky Helpless we stand defenceless we'll die Shadows of the end Atlantis will fall life it will finally descend Descend... for evermore
