Blackened

The apocalyptic opener from *...And Justice for All*, 1988

Blackened is the end, winter it will send
Throwing all you see into obscurity
Death of mother earth, never a rebirth
Evolution's end, never will it mend

Chorus

Blackened is the end, blackened is the end
Winter it will send, throwing all you see
Into obscurity, death of mother earth
Never a rebirth, evolution's end

Verse 2

Never will it mend, never
Fire, is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest, of all Milleniums is near
Doomed, to face our fate like the reaper swings

Bridge

Blackened
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick

Verse 3

Hope it disappears, watch the war appear
Blasting our demise, nations' sacrifice
Blackened

Outro

Blackened is the end, blackened is the end
Winter it will send, throwing all you see
Into obscurity, death of mother earth
Never a rebirth, evolution's end
Never will it mend, never
