#260: The Rising End (The First Prophecy) - Zao

The Rising End (The First Prophecy)

Zao

Genre: Black Metal/Metalcore

Note: apologies for the lack of updates, I haven't had much time to enjoy music lately, let alone feel little enough stress to remember making a new post. This song popped into my head not too long ago after not having heard it in months, I went back and listened to it and loved it. Its album, The Funeral of God, is thought-provoking and a good example of a lyrically-driven concept album. In essence, it's about the aftermath of the departure of God. I recommend reading through the lyrics to those interested.

Bombs rain down like heaven's tears
The Earth shall die and disappear
And today, we wish the skies were grey
For now they're just black and empty

Ripped and turn from inside out
Things too dark to think about
No miracles
No bleeding hands
God has parted

Bombs rain down like heaven's tears
The Earth shall die and disappear
And today, we wish the skies were grey
For now they're just black and empty

And when the end, she comes
Rains down on everyone
Fire from the sky
And when the end, she rides
Breathing out suicide
Life and death are one
And when the end, she comes
Rains down on everyone
Fire from the sky
And when the end, she rides
Breathing out suicide
Life and death are one

As a flame burns to touch the sky
So it shall be with man's cry
And this night all will pass away

And when the end, she comes
Rains down on everyone
Fire from the sky
And when the end, she rides
Breathing out suicide
Life and death are one
And when the end, she comes
Rains down on everyone
Fire from the sky
And when the end, she rides
Breathing out suicide
Life and death are one
