[Intro] (A slow, crushing sludge metal riff begins. Low-tuned, distorted guitars and thunderous, echoing drums create an oppressive, suffocating atmosphere.) [Verse 1] The horizon swallows up the morning light But this is not the coming of the night A wall of grey is rolling o'er the plains A choking cloud that carries toxic rains The wind begins to howl a bitter sound And throws the poisoned ashes to the ground We tie the dirty rags across our face To survive the fury of this barren place. [Chorus] The poisoned sky is crashing down tonight A blinding storm that steals away our sight The earth is angry, tearing at our skin A brutal punishment for every human sin There is no shelter in this open waste Just the bitter ash upon our tongue to taste Underneath the shadow of the poisoned sky. [Verse 2] The air is thick, it burns inside the chest No time to stop, no moment left to rest We walk in circles, blinded by the dust In this violent weather we can put no trust Every step is heavier than the last Running from the ghosts of what has passed I grab your hand to pull you through the grey Praying we won't wash away today. [Chorus] The poisoned sky is crashing down tonight A blinding storm that steals away our sight The earth is angry, tearing at our skin A brutal punishment for every human sin There is no shelter in this open waste Just the bitter ash upon our tongue to taste Underneath the shadow of the poisoned sky. [Verse 3] We find a hollow carved into the stone Huddling together, shivering to the bone We watch the fury tear the dying trees Bringing what is left down to its knees The world doesn't need us anymore It's fighting back to settle up the score We close our eyes and let the thunder roll Hoping that the storm won't take our soul. [Chorus] The poisoned sky is crashing down tonight A blinding storm that steals away our sight The earth is angry, tearing at our skin A brutal punishment for every human sin There is no shelter in this open waste Just the bitter ash upon our tongue to taste Underneath the shadow of the poisoned sky. [Outro] (The heavy guitars slowly dissolve into an echoing wash of white noise, simulating a howling wind. The noise gradually fades out over ten seconds until only complete silence remains.)
