[Verse 1, haunting hurdy gurdy, clean vocals, mournful, slow] Beneath the skin Of turf and stone A silent heart Has turned to glass We mined the blood We broke the bone And watched the ancient spirits pass. [Chorus - Harsh, black metal screams, slow epic dirge]] THE SKY NOW BREATHES IN FIRE! THE EARTH BREAKS BENEATH! THE SKY NOW BREATHES IN FIRE! THE WIND IS LOOSE, GODS NO MORE! BREAKING 'NEATH A WORLD AT WAR! [Verse 2 - Screamed vocals over mid-tempo, driving riffs] The pines now wear a crown of flame A final,most majestic bloom The wind does not howl out a name But sings the melody of doom. The fault lines yawn with hungry breath To swallow towers we designed The rising waves pronounce our death A judgment from the deep,enshrined. [Chorus - Harsh, banshee-like screams, slow epic dirge, symphonic backing] THE SKY NOW BREATHES IN FIRE! THE EARTH BREAKS BENEATH! THE SKY NOW BREATHES IN FIRE! THE WIND IS LOOSE, GODS NO MORE! BREAKING 'NEATH A WORLD AT WAR! [Introspective Interlude] [Breakdown - Spoken word, then roared over crushing doom riffs and lightning fast bass drums] The forests... are now charcoal sermons. The cities...are silent... Stone cysts [Breakdown] [Monstrous growls, pipe organ] ALL WE WERE WILL BE NO MORE!
