lyrics

It's here
End of days
From the sky
Reckoning
Set,
Sail,
Yells the Quartermaster
All,
Hands
The sky is falling,
sky is falling

No more
End of man
Tempest comes
Wash away
Row
Row
Yells the quartermaster
Row
Row
The seas are boiling,
seas are boiling

Cumulonimbus swell, circle in the sky
Lightning bolts crash the ground
Lashing altitude
Mariana trench opens, swallows everything
Typhoons and tidal waves wash it all away
Sky explodes, torrential purge from above
Tornados swirling sweeping all aside
Rain like bullets strike your face
Rebound and ricochet
Mother Nature delivers her reckoning

Clouds of sulphur Acid rain burning plants and trees Human race eradicated from the earth Meteors obliterate all that's in their path Land is raised to the ground in the aftershock
Lightning bolts!
Lightning bolts!
Lightning bolts!
Lightning bolts!

Mast splits
Set adrift
Sails rip
Abandon ship
Hold,
Fast,
Yells the Quartermaster
Hold,
Fast
The ship is sinking,
ship is sinking

Here comes the rain again,
Wash it away again,
Wipe the slate clean

Cumulonimbus swell circle in the sky
Lightning bolts crack the sky
Lashing altitude
Mariana trench opens, swallows everything
Typhoons and tidal waves wash it all away
Sky explodes, torrential purge from above
Tornados swirling sweeping all aside
Rain like bullets strike your face
Rebound and ricochet
Mother Nature delivers her reckoning

Clouds of sulphur Acid rain burning plants and trees Human race eradicated from the earth Meteors obliterate all that's in their path Land is raised to the ground in the aftershock
Lightning bolts!
Lightning bolts!
Lightning bolts!
Lightning bolts!

Hulls breached
Drawing water faster
Heading, straight into disaster
Its Lost
The ship is lost

The maelstrom is descending faster
The shipmates faces turn to alabaster
It’s lost
The ship is lost
It’s lost
The ship is lost
