Cosmic Retribution
Arch Enemy · Black Earth [1996]
Behold the apocalypse
The end is closing in
Did you ever really doubt
That we would pay for our sins...
[Chorus:]
The heavens will burn
No one can save us now
Everything we once loved
Shall perish in flames...
Armageddon coming on
A black dawn slowly rising
The heat will slowly consume you
Like a moth around a flame
[1st lead - Michael]
[Acoustic Lead - Christopher]
[2nd Lead - Christopher]
Out of this silent planet
A single sign of life appears
A man made machine
Carrying an embryo of human life...
The end is closing in
Did you ever really doubt
That we would pay for our sins...
[Chorus:]
The heavens will burn
No one can save us now
Everything we once loved
Shall perish in flames...
Armageddon coming on
A black dawn slowly rising
The heat will slowly consume you
Like a moth around a flame
[1st lead - Michael]
[Acoustic Lead - Christopher]
[2nd Lead - Christopher]
Out of this silent planet
A single sign of life appears
A man made machine
Carrying an embryo of human life...
