[instrumental intro] [verse] One final slumber A torpor that creeps Immaculate pyre To end all the living Vast conflagration extinguished for now Soot blots out the sky Terror Desperation Madness In darkness [chorus] And as the world remains in ignorance Peace in isolation -- There lies a silent dread Yet the menace lies in hibernation -- Dormant devastation There lies a silent dread -- Dormant devastation Within the hearts of all -- Dormant devastation [verse] A hellish bastion A somnolent beast Fangs ever so sharp Aimed towards the heart of man One kindled fire away from waking up And erasing life Calamity Death Demise Annihilation [pre-chorus] Endless malady that spreads iniquity On a world set ablaze Yet for a time It slumbers And it sleeps [chorus][reprise] And as the world remains in ignorance Peace in isolation -- There lies a silent dread Yet the menace lies in hibernation -- Dormant devastation There lies a silent dread -- Dormant devastation Within the hearts of all -- Dormant devastation [guitar solo] [bridge] Born of the old and forsaken Destined to devastate -- A by-product of your creation Dormant and slumbering -- All efforts of purification Unleashed with the break of dawn -- Leaves us scarred with hesitation Laid to rest when the light is gone [instrumental outro]
