Destroyed, Denied

There I was striding to heaven and they were calling me
from beyond and I heard: "Don't look back!"
But I did and my eyes, they can't forget that sight
’cause all water and land was dead.

Destroyed, denied, all tears undried,
the crawling chaos comes.
The twilight died, eternal night,
the crawling chaos comes.

A giant maelstrom, absorbing what we'd left back,
the deserts of cadaverous, mortal loam
and jungles of decay and decadence, where once
had been the homelands of my people,
temples of my ancestors, they were gone, dead and gone

(Rage – The Crawling Chaos)
