Lyrics

Under the blaze of the midnight sun

Under the intense glare of the midnight sun

To wreak destruction forward we go

Moving forward to cause destruction

Expose the pain, now you reap what you sow

Reveal the suffering; now facing consequences of one's actions

Plague and storms, they will return

Reference to plague and storms, symbols of chaos, indicating their return


Cut from life, face the light

Conveying a sense of separation from life and confronting the light

Cut from life, face the light

Born to suffer

Expressing a theme of enduring pain, burial, divine punishment, and the experience of rapture

Buried under

God's hammer
