Nox Aeterna Lyrics

Ash descending from the heavens above
Soot covered faces desperately seeking
Tragedy strewn all around
Scorched bodies cover the ground
On silver wings darkness came with fire in the name of Allah
Unsuspecting victims oblivious to their intentions
Willingly board their last flight
A land once bright now condemned to eternal night
Allahu Akbar they scream
He’s filled with a martyr’s dream
A flash of light in pieces they lay
Carrion birds feast upon decay
The believers and absent of faith become one and the same
Empty vessels of hopes and dreams
Pulled from rubble, limp and lifeless
Darkness encompassing the land in the name of Islam

And as the pillars burn
Smoke eclipses the horizon
Mindless devotion
From this world must be excised

Sprinting toward their execution
Unaware of the horrors ahead
Dismembered maimed and mangled
Turn the streets into their death bed
Pummeled with attack after attack
When will the tolerance end
Splattered aftermath of a bomb
In the name of Islam

Poisoned ideology
Suicidal misology
Dying for a prophecy
Exploiting the weakness of empathy

Nox Aeterna
Religion’s ultimate creation
Nox Aeterna
Drown the light from this land
Until all that’s left
Is the enlightened man
