It was predicted, all the signs warned us But in our great pride we've choosen the ignorance And now we're dying under the rain of ashes Cursed be our greed, cursed be the men This is the fall of humankind Oceans appears where mountains were Poles reversed and snow falling This is the end of everything No more culture, no more town, men release their deep wildness And in this great disaster the reign of beast has begun Come on ! And see by yourself the fall of out greet age, our eternal civilization We thought we were immortal like the wind in the sky We spent our lives to ruin nature as if that life belongs to us This is the fall of humankind Oceans appears where mountains were Poles reversed and snow falling This is the end of everything No more culture, no more towns, men release their deep wildness And in this great disaster the reign of beasts has begun Come on ! And see by yourself the fall of out greet age, our eternal civilization We thought we were immortal like the wind in the sky We spent our lives to ruin nature as if that life belongs to us

It is now time to rebuild the cities of the fallen men But we can't found our new world on the base of the old one We must now rethink our place in the immensity of the space We must reinvent the way we live in this world full of ruins I feel the spirit of the night rising up in my hands I finally have the courage to erase by fire! All the lies of the past, all the nonsense of the men Will be destroy by the primal power of fire! It is now time to rebuild the cities of the fallen men But we can't found our new world on the base of the old one We must now rethink our place in the immensity of the space We must reinvent the way we live in this world full of ruins Knock down the towers of the greed, the roads of the laziness, destroy the witness of the past! I feel the spirit of the night rising up in my hands I finally have the courage to erase by fire! All the lies of the past, all the nonsense of the men Will be destroy by the primal power of fire! Knock down the towers of the greed, the roads of the laziness, destroy the witness of the past! No more machines of envy, proofs of gluttony, let ends the pride of lust and anger I feel the spirit of the night rising up in my hands I finally have the courage to erase by fire! All the lies of the past, all the nonsense of the men Will be destroy by the primal power of fire!

Primal Dawn 04:02
I see around me the sparks of life The power to rebuild and avoid the mistakes of the past Here comes a new kind of men who respect nature and the pagan spirit This is the rise of a new age, a new chance for mankind, a new seed of life In the first day of this new world the old survivor rise and speech like That we must now erase the proofs of the past of the ancient world I see around me the sparks of life The power to rebuild and avoid the mistakes of the past Here comes a new kind of men who respect nature and the pagan spirit This is the rise of a new age, a new chance for mankind, a new seed of life In the first day of this new world old survivors rise and say that We must now erase the proofs of the past of the ancient world Don't let the men burning down history Don't let the power corrupt liberty This is the primal dawn, the renew of everything In the first day of this new world old survivors rise and say that We must now erase the proofs of the past of the ancient world I see around me the sparks of life The power to rebuild and avoid the mistakes of the past

Rebirth 04:01
Can you hear the horns? Sounding from the depths Can you see the sun? Burning its black beams The end is near, ocean's rising Night is approaching, mankind is dying! Life is just a cycle, everything revolve Death is not the end, all will rise again The waves flood through the earth, fire burns lakes and forests Smoke of the life fill the air, no one can escape the final day I feel the strength leaving my body I feel my soul rising in the air Life is just a cycle, everything revolve Death is not the end, all will rise again Rebirth! I feel the blood through my veins, flowing again Rebirth! I feel the air through my lungs, filling again All around me is just ruins and chaos, but I am alive! The waves flood through the earth, fire burns lakes and forests Smoke of the life fill the air, no one can escape the final day Shadows cover the Earth, the eternal night has begun But far in the horizon I can now see the dawn of hope

You! Come here and listen to the tale of the last men on Earth Approach and see the lament of a decadent age’s remains You! Look the future you building full of despair and fear Do you really want to see your child with only ashes to live? You! Man full of meanness regain control of your life It is high time to start thinking the world you will settle You! Look at your reflect into the mirror of life Do you really want to see a man with no conviction? We thought the Earth was eternal, we were not thinking of tomorrow Here is the tale of a man who live the fall, we were all blind outdid by our own wealth We burned the Earth like a woodpile Ignoring any common sense, making money more important than life But one day the sky became black The air ignited and the Earth fell over I cry ! I fall in despair... This is not the life I want to live You ! Came here and listen the tale of the last men on Earth Approach and see the lament of a decadent ages remains You! Look the future you building full of despair and fear Do you really want to see your child with only ashes to live? You! Man full of meanness regain control of your life It is high time to start thinking the world you will settle You! Look at your reflect into the mirror of life Do you really want to see a man with no conviction? We thought the Earth was eternal, we were not thinking of tomorrow Here is the tale of a man who live the fall, we were all blind outdid by our own wealth I cry! I fall in despair... This is not the life I want to live

Think of what you did yesterday, are you really taking care ? Think of all the days of your life, did your acts really matter ? And if what you do today changes the world tomorrow Come and take my hand, I will show you the world now Do not be afraid of the darkness of the sun There is no more light of our precious star now We live in the night of the endless black winter It is time to rise and never look back again It is time to build and never fall back again We can only keep walking There is no remains of the past We have no choice to give up Our corrupted beliefs Come and take my hand, I will show you the world now Do not be afraid of the darkness of the sun There is no more light of our precious star now We live in the night of the endless black winter It is time to rise and never look back again It is time to build and never fall back again Think of what you did yesterday, do you really taking care ? Think of all the day of your life, do you act really matter ? What if what you do today change the world tomorrow

I see the blood everywhere, corpses of mine laying here I can't believe what happened, this is just a complete nightmare And for what, all this slaughter? And for what, all this hatred? You murder for your beliefs Only causing this circle of hate And we just dig deeper this chasm of ignorance I see the blood everywhere, corpses of mine laying here I can't believe what happened, this is just a complete nightmare We spent our lives to fight each other, killing our brothers, raping our sisters Our beliefs split us instead of joining us, we build this chasm between our ignorance And now we bomb your homeland And now we kill your brothers This is a storm of pure anger This is a never ending war And we just dig deeper this chasm of ignorance I see the blood everywhere, corpses of mine laying here I can't believe what happened, this is just a complete nightmare We spent our lives to fight each other, killing our brothers, raping our sisters Our beliefs split us instead of joining us, we build this chasm between our ignorance

Dark visions appears of an ancient world Where towers were high and hearts all empty People's wandering along the giant roads Running through their lives like a stunned crowd What is this madness? Is it really my ancestors who build these cities of dying lights? Where are the trees? Where is the seed of life which allow all men to get along with nature? The extinction seems impossible to avoid You such a fool thinking you are immortal I have seen enough, now I understand When humankind go all wrong They took all they wanted without any mildness Spoiling and spoiling our precious Earth What is this madness? Is it really my ancestors who build these cities of dying lights? Where are the trees? Where is the seed of life which allow all men to get along with nature? The extinction seems impossible to avoid You such a fool thinking you are immortal

Explosion! Half the humankind extinct, half the Earth is erased Look at the sun, do you see it in the sky? Night all day long, 3 winters without light Here come the flames, burning humanity Here come the waves, erasing destiny Explosion! Half the humankind extinct, half the Earth is erased Look at the sun, do you see it in the sky? Night all day long, 3 winters without light Here come the flames, burning humanity Here come the waves, erasing destiny Down! The men faint in darkness, this is a Reborn! A new chance to take, a new life begin Never rising sun! The sun rising again Never rising sun! Humanity will survive

Smelling the sweat, hearing the cry, I'm standing up with my men All together in the sand of the field, we are waiting for our death And the men yell the cry of the beginning of the end of our lives ! We're fighting for blood and glory We are here to join the Valhalla Smelling the sweat, hearing the cry, I'm standing up with my men And the sword cutting the arms of the men who dare fighting me I release the beast in me, I'm feeding with the blood of men I'm raving with the battle's slaughter, I feel my soul quaking my head I can't control myself any longer, I am the berserk inside you I am the blood of wars coming from ancient times You should fear me 'cause I'm here for you I am the herald of death coming to never rest And the men yell the cry of the beginning of the end of our lives ! We're fighting for blood and glory We are here to join the Valhalla And the sword cutting the arms of the men who dare fight me I release the beast in me, I'm feeding with the blood of men I'm raving of the slaughter of battle, I feel my soul quaking in my head I can't control myself any longer, I am the berserk inside you
