October Thirty-First Another gate has opened wide The ghosts have all been set free Now they’ll wander far and wide Haunting all humanity With blood-red eyes and cursed souls They’ll slowly crawl beneath your skin Possessing hearts, devouring goals Dragging your spirit back to where they've been The wicked wind will roam the earth Across each land, through every shore Spreading chaos, rage and hate Turning brother against brother in war I see despair in every eye Priests and pastors cannot pray The truth will hang upon the wall While lies shall rise and rule the day The seven horsemen forged their keys Unlocked the gate with cursed command Out stepped the Power meant to reign The Prince of Hell now walks the land The sacred fire now burns no more And smoke has drowned those who defied Life fades out, a dying flame As sorrow strikes the soul inside Wars were planned with cold disdain For lives they threw into the flame Forced to march with loaded guns To battles blind, without a name Books were closed, and Bibles burned The holy word fell to the dust While sinners laughed and turned their backs On temples lost to ash and rust This is the end of all we’ve known The water tainted, overthrown The meat we eat now reeks of death This is the end of life and breath These are the birth pains, the warning cries The fire cradles a child of lies He was born to bring the final blow To all that made this life once glow Darkness walks across the land The night becomes our only friend Ashes fall where light once stood And the righteous man meets his bitter end The seven horsemen forged their keys Unlocked the gate with cursed command Out stepped the Power meant to reign The Prince of Hell now walks the land The sacred fire now burns no more And smoke has drowned those who defied Life fades out, a dying flame As sorrow strikes the soul inside This is the end of all we’ve known The water tainted, overthrown The meat we eat now reeks of death This is the end of life and breath
