Tema

Una pista muy atmosférica y oscura que habla de la calamidad global y el final definitivo y aplastante del mundo. Las '**cortinas negras**' sirven como una poderosa metáfora de la finalidad de la existencia y la oscuridad permanente después de un desastre mundial o un colapso psicológico personal.

Letra

Hey... look around you Everything's helter-skelter Listen up... I warn you Run for cover, run Bang... it happened Time's up, Armageddon Fire... meltdown The sky is crumbling in Black curtains... never ending Escape... you're joking Can't find no place to run Hair... is burning My flesh is bubbling up Blood... is boiling Taste copper on my tongue Fate... is coming Welcome it with a smile Black curtains... never ending, fall Something's under my skin Something's very strange Playing with my mind Tempting me to do you in Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest Held for ransom in a spider's web Suffocating, no one hears my calls Never ending, till the black curtain falls Snakes... surround me Offering their death kiss to me Down... I'm drowning How long, I hold my breath Dogs... are chasing My legs are paralyzed Pray... don't find me My life is fading fast
