lyrics

It seems for eons
Cold has crept upon
Millions die off
As they struggle
To ward of freezing
Brutal cold death
Darkness encroaches
A dead star

Life forms have lived and died in this world
Always with a way to warm themselves
Now in this age, caliginosity possesses life
Non intelligent life have already passed
Humans now look for solace and protection
Turn to holy scripture

So where is their fictitious weak God now?
Wasn't this world and dying star his creation?
Pray to him as the frigid winds blow
Cry out to him as the darkness crushes life
O' Heavenly Father above, why is this so?
Is this truly the end of all life on earth?
Will you not restore our home to abundance?
Cries and prayers unanswered

Then the star dies
With A silent exhale
Black day marks life
Humans are frozen statues

Constant black night
Fire is scarce
Encased in thick ice
No chance to survive
Entombed in glaciers
Humans frozen to death
Termination of life
A dead planet
