The Ionian fire - it flickers and falls in the cold wind, In the streets, the cities ablazing, The final descent, the spirals turning; The barricades are breaking
At breakneck speed, a celestial pestilence descends upon the world And delivers a sacred gift of everlasting death. Get on board the ship, it's sinking, The barricades are breaking!
Annihilate, envenom, impregnate! Decimate - reduce to ashes. A war of attrition, A sullen contrition, the stench of redemption, We have no need of your salvation,
Raise the standard from the broken city walls Another harbinger of doom, a herald of annihilation. Get on board the ship, it's sinking, The barricades are breaking!
Can't you hear the wolves at the door? The barricades are breaking!
