This virulent landscape awaits me tonight
Though silent as stone I sense cold restraint
A venomous fury lies low in the calm
But I sense it from the soil to the leaves to the clouds…
This tense atmosphere takes possession of me
The trees look upon me like ghosts of the fallen
It’s almost like the wind seems to whisper to me
But these words are not of joy, but of sorrow, grief and death…
‘Luceat eis’ (Shine upon them…)
‘And the charge will be high treason!’ screams the wind
‘Our once strong alliance was torn to pieces!’
‘Concrete and sawing-machines raped the earth!’
Ashamed and dismayed I fall down to the ground…
Shattered, shattered…
By this vision of doom
I’m begging for mercy under the sullen gleam of the moon
Bitter, bitter…
The livid wind cuts the soul
The wounds will not heal, yet the bell of death will toll…
As stormclouds fill the sky
I do not shed one tear
The end is here…
The heavens are torn to pieces - a rain of fire descends
The dawn of the end has arrived: we will not transcend!
The final signs of human life, in horror fleeing away
Stricken by lightning, their screams of death, there will never be a new day…
‘Luceat eis’
Devour me! Spit my pulverized bones out:
The seed that will nourish the soil beneath this wasteland!
Ya-Te-Veo…

Unpleasant emotions overwhelmed us
Impossible to sort them out
Out of fear we cried, we shivered
Not knowing why this day dressed in farewell robes
Friends and enemies existed no longer
Races blurred together as one
Stupid and smart became alike
The pain was no different when we died
Thick clouds, a swirling vortex
Screams of pain and agony
Deafening roars, giants stumble
Society disorganized
Gigantic buildings crumble, they’re coming down from…
From the sky!
The wreckage and the ruins of the modern world
The remnants smouldering
Between the rocks lies a broken citadel
Your prosperous bodies burning under the open sun…
The ulcerating ashes of the modern world
The grey sky does not mourn
Through the ruins shoots of green firmly proceed
Surviving with pride under the open sun…

The cold caress of morning dew
This is not a day that will warmly greet us
It’s in the threatening sky above me
It’s in the austere atmosphere around me
The era of man has ended
No velvet retribution is awaiting us
Our lies shall extinguish under the frost
Do you feel what I feel?
Can’t you see that we have lost?
The earth will tremble…
The skies will break…
And the sun will burn to dust eras of lies…
Hear the wind’s whispering laughter through the azure skies…
Scourge from the azure sky
And I beheld a tragedy
A life force grasped by the claws of death
To end what seemed to be endless
To overpower what seemed to be invincible
And to restore the forces of nature
The essence of which we were born
The fertile soil we abandoned and betrayed
With our greediness which is now silenced forevermore…
The earth will tremble…
The skies will break…
And the sun will burn to dust eras of lies…
Hear the wind’s sadistic laughter through the azure skies…
Scourge from the azure sky
Compelling reverence ‘till we die
Take my life – absorb me
Force me to plunge into the essence
And allow me to hand over the reins
Behold me – humble
As I kneel before the throne
As I render honour to the root
As I die...
Hear the wind’s satisfied laughter at our demise…
Scourge from the azure sky
