Across the Earth Lyrics

[Intro]
Dearly beloved
I'm writing this letter in hopes that it reaches you in time
I've lived in darkness for so long that my heart beats no more
And the only light I seek is an undying flame across the earth

[Verse]
I watch the horror, it sickens me
You all know nothing of misery
The sound of hate, the sound of hate, it's deafening
This world, this world means nothing to me
I am the bringer of ends
I am the bearer of night
All of your greed and your gluttony
Now you all must die

[Chorus]
No one can run, no one can hide
This reckoning in my eyes
Nowhere to turn, your fate I decide
This reckoning in my eyes
Pray, pray
Pray for the end of times
Pray, pray
Pray for the end, the end of times
[Bridge]
Filled with the worms of decay
Your skin shall perish in vain
Filled with the worms of decay
Your skin shall perish in vain

[Pre-Chorus]
No one can run, no one can hide
This reckoning in my eyes
Nowhere to turn, your fate I decide
This reckoning in my eyes

[Chorus]
Pray, pray
Pray for the end of times
Pray, pray
Pray for the end, the end of times

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
A world cloaked in lies, a world cloaked in lies (Lies, lies)
Will face its demise
With illness and agony, illness and agony
I'll watch humanity die
I'll watch humanity die
I'll watch humanity die

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
