Long Shadows of Dread - Nile

The world grows dark

Dusk turns ominous

Penance for evil days

Long upon us

Unforetold dread

Is on the horizon

Warning us of impending doom

The world is become a despairing desert

The sands of time run short

The foundations of the black earth move beneath our feet

Unnameable fear lurks ever nearer

The shadows lengthen

The shadows lurk

The order of the cosmos is undone

The waters of chaos rise

All that we are is soon to die

Of the black earth only ruins shall remain

A desolate remembrance

Casting long shadows

Across untold centuries
