["Although a cliche subject in metal
Fear of Annihilation is something 
We've all experienced at one time or another. 
In this case, we try to decipher
Lyrically and musically 
A set of reoccurring nightmares 
I used to frequently have."]


Centuries of war and waste
Have dealt a mortal blow
Mother Earth begins to rot
Humanity on death row
Life does slowly cease to be
Death seems so surreal
As earth becomes a vacant lot
There's nothing left to heal


No colour in the skies
No one left to blame
And we thought we were wise
As I fade, I feel revived
Shocked back into life
Opening imperilled eyes
Imperilled eyes


Cessation of physical life
Blackness rains from above
What right did power have
To annihilate the Earth I loved
Now a barren wasteland
The die is cast
A planet that once did teem with life
No evidence of a past


No colour in the skies
No one left to blame
And we thought we were wise
As I fade, I feel revived
Shocked back into life
Opening imperilled eyes
Imperilled eyes


Centuries of war and waste
Have dealt a mortal blow
Mother Earth is now no more
There's nothing left to heal
No colour in the skies
No one left to blame
And we thought we were wise
As I fade, I feel revived
Shocked back into life
Opening imperilled eyes
Imperilled eyes
