about

And the award for stupidest tempo changes ever imposed on a song goes to...

Recording this was hell. Between lost audio files, insane tempo maps, that absolutely ridiculous solo section Anthony had to play to; it was quite the ride. All in all though, this ended up being one of our favourites! A silly, sarcastic jab at Armageddon songs like... the ones we... wrote...

The vocal track on this was completely redone in almost one take and the first time we attempted the scream at the end, the note got so intense that it sounded like a computer had crashed.

Fun in the studio!

lyrics

Bringer of destruction I will cause you pain,
Spilling blood around the world not one drop shall remain.
Sins that I've committed to me it's just a game,
Begging for your lives your fate is just the same.

Darkness within
Spreads through my wings,
Frozen with fear
As chaos is here.

Lightning casts the sky as people lay to waste,
The cities fall as humans crawl ;cause this is of my taste.
The sight and smell of blood is free I live to seek you out,
Thirsting for your soul to take I hear you scream and shout

Hidden in the shadows I will set you free,
Come on baby take my hand and quickly follow me.
Open up your eyes take a look and see,
You're in the depths of hell, I'm on a winning spree.

Darkness within
Spreads through my wings,
Frozen with fear
As chaos is here.

Lightning casts the sky as people lay to waste,
The cities fall as humans crawl ;cause this is of my taste.
The sight and smell of blood is free I live to seek you out,
Thirsting for your soul to take I hear you scream and shout

The time of life is ticking as for you I have a date,
Make sure that you're ready because I'm never late.
Wings of darkness take me high as I reveal my fate,
With scythe in hand I take a stand and open up the gate.

Darkness within
Spreads through my wings,
Frozen with fear
As chaos is here.

Lightning casts the sky as people lay to waste,
The cities fall as humans crawl ;cause this is of my taste.
The sight and smell of blood is free I live to seek you out,
Thirsting for your soul to take I hear you scream and shout
