And Darkness Was Cast
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

charging my energies
my body and mind collide
creating a massive storm within myself	
that feeds on despair of the world's demise	
the very soil beneath my feet collapse
in the presence of my design
as I emit chastising aura 
I am no longer mortal
I am a god

[solo]

this is the dawn of a new age
I convey obliteration for conspiratorial swine
no pity for ones whom will lie in the waves of the wake
I reconcile with the wrath and destruction
to purify every life that I take

reflect on all the hate and all the pain
contamination will engulf 
at a despicable rate
sever all ties with the human race

I shall cast darkness
upon this land

I rise above to the highest cloud to bask in true glory
I cannot stand and watch the insects consume
I destroy
destroy defiled life
... and darkness was cast

And Darkness Was Cast

You called it love. History calls it a warcrime.
The heart was never built for this kind of warfare but we waged it anyway.
