lyrics

Sudden rush of panic
Fleeing from the flood
Fragile bodies cling to safety
Holding on amid the tide of blood

Torrent of destruction
A world is swept away
Empty minds await in refuge
For the grave new world that comes today

Total desolation
Brutal recreation
A kingdom falls
Back into the mud from which it grew
No mercy from the wave
No time for you to save yourself
A reign of horror shall be forged anew

Receding darkened water
The destroyer slips away
Weak with hunger, flecked with filth
Survivors crawl back only to
Betray the one beside them
With whom they had endured
Murderous desperation
With bloody claws the new world is secured

Violent betrayal
Fighting tooth and nail
Chaos reigns
Across the mire that taints the broken land
The legacy of woe
Polluted with the flow of blood
Its wellspring is the traitor's savage hand

Rack and ruin, shattered crown
Towers laid low upon the ravaged ground
After the deluge, humanity's defeat
Do not pray for mercy where two rivers meet
