Once there was a time,
  darker than the human mind,
  the old man told me
  
  If there was a light
  it cried a while before it died,
  it died away
  
  That night he told me of the darkest time
  With his own eyes he had witnessed this crime
  
  Once there was a place
  before it was a realm of grace,
  not far from here
  
  Ruined, raped and murdered,
  sunken deep to dark despair
  Sky covered in glowing clouds
  
  Lasting night and winter,
  fatal atmosphere
  
  Misery
  is there no end to this tragedy, how many tears?
  this darkest time laughs at divinity
  this darkest time laughs at your fears
  
  Once there was a war
  of a kind never seen before,
  poor stupid mankind
  
  Brother killing brother
  rulers crying out for more
  always more
  
  From distant swords lands wet with blood
  Games of slaughter death the only goal
