Across the plains, wide and mighty
Sat she did, her throne of iv'ry
I stared upon the kingdom of God
And knew there was no hope
There it was that I looked out
And saw the flash of star
A wave of torment; A wave of despair
A song of war, she spoke
I raised my fist in fury
The fire nearing now, you see
I looked upon the heavens and asked
"Why have you forsaken me?"
So it was the end came then
My holy place, in desecration
My home of homes now a waste
The fortress tossed from its foundation
The man, he said in mock triumph
His eyes, they showed no soul
His heart was empty, his shallow breath
For the ends justify the means
The destroyer of worlds;
Now, I am become Death
Sat she did, her throne of iv'ry
I stared upon the kingdom of God
And knew there was no hope
There it was that I looked out
And saw the flash of star
A wave of torment; A wave of despair
A song of war, she spoke
I raised my fist in fury
The fire nearing now, you see
I looked upon the heavens and asked
"Why have you forsaken me?"
So it was the end came then
My holy place, in desecration
My home of homes now a waste
The fortress tossed from its foundation
The man, he said in mock triumph
His eyes, they showed no soul
His heart was empty, his shallow breath
For the ends justify the means
The destroyer of worlds;
Now, I am become Death
