[Style:- Gothic Metal, Doom Metal, Gothic Melodic Guitars, Heavy Doom Riffs] [Lyrics by Greenwolf] [Slow acoustic intro with organ backing] [Verse 1] The sun shines on the lake A gentle breeze blows inland Villagers work the fields nearby Maintaining the cropland [Slow heavy guitar riff] [Verse 2] But all is not well As along the lake's surface A rare limnic eruption Released gas deadly and hazardous [Pre-chorus] Villagers stare at the bubbling lake Unaware of their imminent death Breathing in, their lungs begin to ache Clawing at the throats gasping for breath [Chorus] Asphyxiation Of man and beast Nowhere to run When C O 2 is released Blown on the wind A toxic shroud No escape from the death cloud [Verse 3] Leaving only death in its wake No hope for any creature in its way Many try to flee in their cars While others shelter in basements and pray [Verse 4] No-one can escape fast enough Tailbacks and slow moving traffic As the clouds engulf all A fate both cruel and tragic [Chorus] Asphyxiation Of man and beast Nowhere to run When C O 2 is released Blown on the wind A toxic shroud No escape from the death cloud [Complex guitar solo with syncopated drums] [Slow gothic guitar solo] [Melodic guitar solo] [Chorus] Asphyxiation Of man and beast Nowhere to run When C O 2 is released Blown on the wind A toxic shroud No escape from the death cloud Asphyxiation Of man and beast Nowhere to run When C O 2 is released Blown on the wind A toxic shroud No escape from the death cloud [Ending]
