Lyrics
What will 2000 bring?
Contemplation about the future, specifically the year 2000
The war of a billion things
Anticipating a massive conflict involving numerous elements
When darkness seizes the lords
When darkness takes control of powerful figures
And darkness sends his judgment sword
Darkness employing judgment and punishment
They march through the battle fields
Marching through war zones, initiating destruction
Start the destruction wheels
Commencing the mechanisms of devastation
A scream of terror through the night
Describing the haunting cries of fear in the night
The armies do their final fight
Armies engaging in their final, decisive conflict
Holocaust
Evoking the term "Holocaust," indicating widespread devastation
Final loss
Emphasizing the ultimate defeat or demise
Holocaust
Reiterating the concept of widespread devastation
What will the end bring
Contemplating the outcome or consequences for one's own life
To my life?
Questions if affected or influenced negatively by something
Are you poisoned by?
Asking if one is affected or controlled by darkness
Are you for the night?
Asking if one belongs to or is aligned with the night
Are you by the night?
Possibly questioning one's relationship with darkness
Holocaust
Repeated mention of widespread devastation
Final loss
Reiteration of the final, overwhelming loss
Holocaust
Emphasizing the all-encompassing devastation
Listen to what I say
Encouragement to heed a warning or advice
We are coming upon the day
Acknowledging the approach of a significant event
When toxic gas fills the air
Describing the spread of lethal gas in the environment
And life on earth can't
Life becoming absent or extinct from the planet
Be found anywhere
Nowhere on Earth will life persist
You run, but where can you hide?
Questions where one can find refuge or safety
From the shelters I hear you cry
Hearing cries for help from sheltered places
The bombs bursting in air
Referencing explosive warfare and its terror
God help me I'm so scared!
Expressing intense fear and a plea for divine assistance
Holocaust
Restating the term "Holocaust" and its implications
Final loss
Reiterating the concept of ultimate, irreversible loss
Holocaust
Emphasizing the extensive and catastrophic event
What will the end bring
Reflection on potential consequences for personal life
To my life?
Questioning potential poisoning or corruption
Are you poisoned by?
Asking if influenced or tainted by darkness
Are you for the night?
Querying allegiance or association with the night
Are you by the night?
Asking about one's relationship with darkness
Holocaust
Reiteration of widespread devastation and loss
Final loss
Emphasizing the final and complete loss
Holocaust
Repeating the concept of all-encompassing devastation
