[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
Blackened is the end, winter it will send
Throwing all you see into obscurity
Death of Mother Earth, never her rebirth
Evolution's end, never will it mend
Never

[Chorus: James Hetfield, Jason Newsted & James Hetfield]
Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

[Verse 2: James Hetfield]
Blistering of Earth, terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill, nothing left to kill
Never seen bеfore, breathing nevеrmore
Never

[Chorus: James Hetfield, Jason Newsted & James Hetfield]
Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blackened
[Bridge: James Hetfield]
Opposition
Contradiction
Premonition
Compromise
Agitation
Violation
Mutilation
Planet dies
Darkest color, blistered Earth
True death of life, haha
Termination, termination
Expiration
Cancellation human race
Expectation
Liberation
Population laid to waste
See our mother put to death
See our mother die
Ooh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: James Hetfield]
Smoldering decay, take her breath away
Millions of our years in minutes disappears
Darkening in vain, decadence remains
All is said and done, never is the sun
Never
[Chorus: James Hetfield, Jason Newsted & James Hetfield]
Fire to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened
Blackened
Fuck yeah
