[Verse 1] [Verse 2]
Blackened is the end. Winter it will send Blistering of earth terminate its worth
Throwing all you see into obscurity Deadly nicotine kills what might have been
Death of mother earth. Never a rebirth Callous frigid chill. Nothing left to kill
Evolution's end. Never will it mend Never seen before. Breathing nevermore
[Verse 3]
Smoldering decay take her breath away
Millions of our years in minutes disappears
Darkening in vain. Decadence remains
[Break]
All is said and done. Never is the sun
[Pre-Chorus]

Hi! There are quite a few things not correct in this version. I would recommend watching this tutorial. https://youtu.be/NhICsLOScFY Hope it's okay to include a link. Cheers!
