2012 Lyrics - Singles - Burnt By The Sun

The weapon was a single projectile charged 

With all the power of the universe 

An incandescent column of smoke and flame 

As bright as the thousand suns rose in all it's splendor 

An iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death 

Which reduced to ashes the entire race 

The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. 

The hair and nails fell out, pottery broke without apparent cause 

And the birds turned white, after a few hours all foodstuffs were infected 

To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves in streams 

To wash themselves and their equipment 

The Mahabharata, ancient Indian text 

The past is just the past isn't it? 

Or is there so much more behind history, too old to be told 

Blocks of faith, power and greed could not stand a chance 

Would be taken to their knees 

I've read the accounts of mushroom clouds of four thousand years 

Past and the flight of Viminas and structures placed in such a way 

That just may spell out our fate 

Reduced to tourist sites, so be the maps of civilization 

Watch the sun fall 

The year it ends, watch them all come down 

We won't need our bombs to make the rain fire 

All tongues, all faiths 

Correspond on the fifth sun's fall 

You can't use your greed to buy your way back 

One life, Armageddon comes with a surge to burn and purge 

Materialists run with a life all in vain 

But there's no justice like the end of the world
