The Darkest Ages Songtext
von As They Sleep

Take over the world
Enslaved to declination
Leave all of your hopes and dreams behind
Make haste divide this nation

Take over the world
There is nothing left to murder
Complete disregard for human life
This ancient flame that still burns
Into the darkest ages

Once more an Emperor′s demise
I've longed to turn these pages

Fight as hard as a mortal man can fight
Re-live the devastation
A billowing smoke that haunts the sky
This murderous confrontation

A horrific sight for untrained eyes
To forget who we were
We try to change who we are
Degrade the stature of life


Put a blade in the back of the truth
And you twist the knife
Burning temples ablaze
While we suffer the reign
Your people dying in vein
The remains of a tranquil place as it falls from grace

Sew the fields with ashes of the infidels
We can′t go on this way, we can't go on
Take these chains and break them at their weakest link
We can't go on this way, we can′t go on

You speak a cold dead language
A respected language of the past
Whose words are best forgotten
But we all won′t soon forget this wrath

Just like the frailest human
Ignoring the signs of your collapse
You watch the blood spill over
Inadvertently walking the same path

Open your eyes
We've all been force fed their lies
Force fed their lies
A leader who gives
Gives everything that you want
Can take it all away
