Beginning of the End

In the top of the trees all these eyes follow me
All is black, like the crows, stiff my neck as it bows
On my knees I will play among death and decay
And it blackens the sun as the end has begun

I never saw the mighty spirits
That gathered now to purity the world
It is the time of the changing season
The cleaning hands of water. Wind and fire - feel the fire

Winter rides the wings of heaven
Sorrow marches through the land
This is the beginning of the end

And the flood rises higher, swallows cities alive
Still the flames' hunger grows, taking over our homes
In the eye of the storm, gods creation reborn
666 in our hearts, it will tear us apart

This is the age of the sunlight children
And from the ashes we'll build it up again
The curtain of the night will fall down
And stronger, wiser than before we'll stand - take my hand

Winter rides the wings of heaven
Sorrow marches through the land
This is the beginning of the end
Darkness covers lonely faces
Mercyful death takes their hand
This is the beginning of the end
