[Verse 1]

Cataract blinding your eyes

To the violent design

Regenerating impending genocide

It's the dawn of decay

Mark the end of your days

Just another lost casualty of the times


[Chorus]

The wicked will feed the chaos

Control and rule disorder

Disintegration's multiplying

Till there is no more bloodline

A future of never-ending

Insane civil disorder

Free yourself from the red dawn

The time has come


[Verse 2]

Death's head shattering

Blow to the throat

At the end of the rope

Degeneration that follows into the fire

In a world gone insane

No one else left to blame

You're just another part of the collective vile


[Chorus]

The wicked will feed the chaos

Control and rule disorder

Disintegration's multiplying

Till there is no more bloodline

A future of never-ending

Insane civil disorder

Free yourself from the red dawn

The time is now

[Verse 3]

Era of total destruction has slowly begun

Yielding death none will survive

Order out of chaos, the true will of the Beast

A life of desolation


[Refrain]

Ten bleeding hearts

One wicked mind

In spiritual sin

Their time is now


[Verse 4]

Era of total destruction will never desist

Only death is your savior

Order out of chaos, the true will of the Beast

A life of persecution


[Refrain]

Ten bleeding hearts

One wicked mind

In spiritual sin

Their time is now


[Verse 5]

Famine, plagues, war, and death

Scourges preceding the end

Death is your only savior


[Refrain]

Ten bleeding hearts

One wicked mind

In spiritual sin

Their time is now


[Outro]

Bringing total annihilation

Total annihilation

Total annihilation

Annihilation
