about

This is an old song that was first written 10 years ago by Linus N. We have tried to make it work for years and finally it has found the shape it needed. This was one of the first songs originally written after our second album Dead Harvest. We also have guest vocals on this one from Gord courtesy of Darkened. The lyrics deal partly with the issues of environmental destruction and how many ignore their part in this. It also revolves around the issue of accepting the easy answers without question, to blindly trust the so-called leaders.

lyrics

In the wake of devastation
An aura of gloom comes to life

Mass demise awaits in eternal night
Reality dawns upon us
(As) we are drawn into the dark
An emotionless ice age

Pray to your maker (and) ignore
the shame
(To) do as you’re told (is) the easy way
The greatest lie - lord of the flies
Your disciples - into the folly

The time has come for life in an open grave
Eclipse of the dead
The time is now
follow the path
Paved in deepest red

Lifeless eyes
staring into the pale gray sky
All is different, yet the same

Pray to your maker (and) ignore the shame
(To) do as you’re told (is) the easy way
They have nothing
but death in common
They are nothing, if they don’t follow

The time has come for life in an open grave
Eclipse of the dead
The time is now
follow the path
Paved in deepest red

Eclipse of the dead
In the eclipse of the dead
Our leaders make sure it’s all in our heads

The time has come for life in an open grave
Eclipse of the dead
The time is now
follow the path
Paved in deepest red
Erase your mind
Partake in our inglorious nation
Eclipse of the dead
