Close To A World Below Lyrics - Close To A World Below - Immolation

Silent is the storm that awaits 

As our crumbling world starts to give way 

Falling around us a new kingdom rises 

billions of souls sinking and sinking 

The flames from below dance at our feet 

Soon to rise up and carry us through 

The burning gates ablaze in glory 

Marvel at the fall of man 

Glorious flames...Rise above 

Show us pain...and cleanse our world 

Our selfish eyes see no wrong 

Closer and closer to God we believe 

But farther and farther from grace we'll fall 

Closer and closer to our kingdom of fire 

Comfort us with words of hope 

We stare into the coming dark 

Blanket us with eternal night 

The sweetness of death upon our lips 

Far are we...From everlasting joy 

Close are we...To a world below 

A world of hate...A world of pain 

A world too blind to see 

A world of judgments ...A world of sadness 

A world void of truth 

A world of the power mad...A world of corrupted lives 

A world destroying itself ahead of its time 

A world of lust...A world of corrupted lives 

A world destroying itself ahead of its time 

A world of lust...A world of greed 

A world with no hope 

Bastard son, you spread your arms to save us from ourselves 

This weak attempt has failed us so, just like your fabled father above 

This shadow you've cast upon our world still conceals the light 

So pick a God, for there's no one left that can save us from our end 

We'll beg for life 

We'll beg for forgiveness 

We'll beg for pity 

We'll beg to be closer to God 

Foolish souls will never see 

The closer to God the closer to our end 

For Christ can't undo this sorrow and pain 

For when he died his soul went below 

Glorious flames...Come us all 

Bring us closer...To a God Below 

Far are we...From everlasting joy 

Close are we...To a world below
