It Came Upon One Night - Solitude Aeturnus

It came upon one night

When Nemesis besieged

Lightning streaked across the sky

And thunderclouds did scream

It came upon one night

On land the seas had turned

Typhoons swept with certain death

Air began to burn

Apocalypse is born

Nightmares will begin

It came upon one night so bittersweet the end

The world was cloaked in darkness

And winter brought the rain

A poisoned soul was pondering

This mortal fool’s to blame

Defense became the joke of the day

Rivalry the nations now regret

Politicians threw our lives away

The day that dust and ice the Earth beset

Into battle cried the poor

As famine took its toll

The world had turned so desolate

That nothing much would grow

Apocalypse was born

Nightmares had begun

Nature claimed a victory

As neither side had won

The world was all asunder

When sorrow took a leave

Hatred fled when Christ returned to Earth as King …
