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
