Welcome to the apocalypse, the end of days 
Rulers of the wasteland, rejoice in the flames 
Futures tumble, legacies crumble 
Thousands of years and what have we learned? 
 
They heard the warnings, ignored the signs 
Wheels of injustice kept on turning  
Unaccountable for their crimes 
On the streets anger burning   
 
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead 
As the chorus chants for a holy war  
 
“It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise”
 
Words turned to war, brother fighting brother 
Another false truce, as the people die  
The fate of the nation forever changed  
Behold - the fiery end is nigh 
Behind closed doors, corruption wins 
The power echelon prepare their task 
One step forward, two stabs in the back  
Revolution is a mere change of masks?
 
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead 
As the chorus chants for a holy war  
 
“It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise”
 
We rise again from the stench and the pain 
We pass through fire, darkness erase the stain   
 
Black clouds rumble, dark days ahead 
As the chorus chants for a holy war  
 
“It’s the end of an era, a new dawn will rise”
 
As the sun sets on the empire 
Is there a future to be found?   
Hopes and dreams…now ashes on the ground
