The End? - Lyrics - Iced Earth

As we gaze, uncertain of the future Breaking dawn reveals impending rapture The darkest days seem to fall behind us We stand tall with pure defiance Stench of death is thick with carcass and decay Destiny obscured, have we been led astray? Forge ahead, we will scale the mountain We are focused on the path of inner light Salvation, we are chanting to the sun Drawn closer, we're fearless to the end Torch the dead, see the burning embers Eradicate this disease, reclaim the earth Bodies cleansed, our land purged of this nightmare Standing tall with those who truly are ware We survived, is it really over? We are clinging to the thread of human life Are these illusions in our minds? Or will the plagues come back in time? Will we survive to find a new life? Or will the rage reclaim us? Feeding on our yearning for the end Everything seems perfect and surreal Can't help but wonder if this is the end Look around as paranoia swells Are we safe? Only time will tell We feel uneasy Vagabonds drifting all around The aftermath of their global cleansing We survived the attempt of mass genocide Is this the end? We are guided to the clean and promised land Seek a life, live where darkness has an end This horizon leads us to our freedom Reminiscing, all the plagues and the death behind Are these illusions in our minds? Or will the plagues come back in time? Will we survive to find a new life? Or will the rage reclaim us? Feeding on our yearning for the end
