Vernal Awakening Lyrics - Exposures - In Retrospect And Denial - Dark Tranquility

Enthroned through this age 

Of confusion an urge 

The weakness and folly 

Since aeons emerged 

Creates life in fetters 

From cradle to grave 

A future in darkness 

With mankind enslaved 

Trail of life decayed 

Wasteland whall prevail 

Hatred lies in store 

Chaos evermore 

So runs the spiel 

From where lives are found and lost 

Learn from past failures 

Prevent to pay the cost 

Sunlight fades as nightfall rises 

In shadows formed in clay 

What once dwelt shall dwell no more 

When darkness sees the day 

A bleak winter of enmity 

And terror shall take form 

What man created will be ruined 

When hate conjures the storm 

When our time spells an end 

To our ruling of this earth 

Will a wasteland remain? 

Will all life cease to be 

By the wicked ways of man 

His enfeebled domain? 

Nature left in flames 

Suffering, now to maim 

Cataclysm at hand 

Unveiled unto man 

So runs the spiel 

From where lives are lost and found 

Progression in spirit 

Eliminates all bounds 

Sunlight fades as nightfall rises 

In shadows formed in clay 

What once dwelt shall dwell no more 

When darkness sees the day 

A bleak winter of enmity 

And terror shall take form 

What man created will be ruined 

When hate conjures the storm 

Hallow minds start to burn 

With the flaming shades of fall 

Let disorder arise 

An avenge to be brought to the ones 

Who graveled earth 

Hides now cloaked in disguise 

Blind deception, mass confusion 

Interbreeding dark illusions 

Tumbelling, falling, brings conclusions 

Constant fatal life-corrosion 

Autumn beckons forth the 

Winter rising gloom in hand 

Raging with bleak coldness 'til 

Vernal light commands 

Final chapter closed 

World devoid of use 

Failure brings despair 

Death reveals its lair 

Sunlight fades as nightfall rises 

In shadows formed in clay 

What once dwelt shall dwell no more 

When darkness sees the day 

A bleak winter of enmity 

And terror shall take form 

What man created will be ruined 

When hate conjures the storm
