lyrics

Verse 1
Earth starts to shake,
Bonds start to break,
The watchman awakes,
but it's the same as it ever was.

Wolf blocks the sun,
The end has begun,
The serpent has come,
And it's the same as it ever was.

Pre Chorus 1
Watch the oceans poisoned,
See the colours burning,
Hel is risen and it's the same as it ever was.
Watch the sky split open,
A force of fallen foes and,
The Lysmith smiles and the horn is blown.

Chorus
The blind man knew it all,
The hammer had to fall,
The watchman saw...
And it's the same as it ever was.

Verse 2
The blind man is through,
In the jaws of a wolf,
Their times are due,
And it's the same as it ever was.

The hammer is broke,
The snake turns to smoke,
The ending as told,
And it's the same as it ever was.

Pre Chorus 2
Watch a lord is fallen,
See a hell hound calling,
An endless winter, the same as it ever was.
A burning sword is swinging,
A harbinger is singing,
The watchman looks on as the fated unfolds.

Chorus
The blind man knew it all,
The hammer had to fall,
The watchman saw...

Musical interlude

Chorus
The blind man knew it all,
The hammer had to fall,
The watchman saw...
And it's the same as it ever was
