Die schwedisch-kanadischen Death Metaller DARKENED bereiten der Veröffentlichung ihrer neuen Scheibe „Defilers of the Light“ Ende nächster Woche mit der zweiten Auskopplung `As Apocalypse Dawns´ den Weg. Als erste Single gab es den nicht minder fiesen Titeltrack auf die Ohren.

Lyrics:

Blood red sun
Peering through blackened sulfuric clouds
A choking poison is in the air
These are the end times, the oceans boil
This world is dying, all living things beware
Consuming chaos looms
No creature will be spared
As the end unfolds

(chorus)
Now as apocalypse dawns
Feel the earth as it heaves
All the world cries as apocalypse dawns
Fall to your knees, make peace with your god

Sky ablaze and howling winds
Hailstones come like bullets down
Laying waste to all the land
A pummeling force, heavenly siege

Woodlands are flattened into smoldering waste
Cities are scorched by nuclear storms
Flesh is peeling away
Volcanic ash, impossible to breathe
Suffocating, people slowly choke and die
The last great mass extinction
Raining down from the sky
A sea of bleaching bones is all that’s left behind
As the end unfolds

(chorus)
Now as apocalypse dawns
Feel the earth as it heaves
All the world cries as apocalypse dawns
Fall to your knees, make peace with your god

Burn in fire as apocalypse dawns
The planet dies and humanity is gone
It’s gone
