It was the year of madness and insanity
There was no other cure for my disease
The overdose - I took it 'cause I had to flee
It was nearly a journey that had no return
The fever burned, I was gone - delirium

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

Then the cracks in the ground, they were breaking up
And all water was streaming in
Manifesting the sight of the dead Berlin and London and Paris were graves
