For some time I looked at the world
Through the eyes of damnation
Dark sights, they hide away from the sun
In the doomsday city I run
In a stream of cruel diminishing thoughts
Darkness shadows the light inside
People not convinced, laughing
End of mankind, wither and die
In denial the fools will carry on
A face unseen will show you what I mean
When the legions arise to destroy
Another day has come to end
No one heard my prophecy
And if tomorrow brings decay
Then it's only my price to pay
Now look, ripping divine serpent
Slither into their minds
Destined to be, eternally
But you are the filth, and death is my God
From the grave black, rise and follow
The strong will remain
All there is left, this eternal horror
Now blood falls like rain
The lyrics of Persuader's song "Doomsday News" speak about a sense of impending doom and destruction, as seen through the eyes of someone who is deeply troubled by the current state of the world. The first verse sets the tone of the song, with the singer expressing how they've been viewing the world through the eyes of damnation. The next lines describe how dark sights are hidden away from the sun, implying that there are dire things lurking in the shadows. This sense of foreboding is deepened by the next line, where the singer says they run in a doomsday city.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's thoughts, revealing that they see darkness overshadowing the light inside people. While the singer seems convinced that the end of mankind is nigh, others are laughing and not convinced of this prophecy. The third verse hints at the singer's anger and impatience with those who are in denial and refuse to heed the warning that the end is near. The chorus speaks of blood raining down like rain and a divine serpent slithering into people's minds, suggesting not just violence and death, but the idea of a malevolent supernatural force at work.
For some time I looked at the world
I have been observing the world for a while now
Through the eyes of damnation
I look at the world negatively
Dark sights, they hide away from the sun
Unpleasant things are often concealed
In the doomsday city I run
I am running in a city that represents destruction
In a stream of cruel diminishing thoughts
I am having an overwhelming number of negative thoughts
Darkness shadows the light inside
I am feeling very gloomy and sad
People not convinced, laughing
Others are not taking me seriously and mocking me instead
End of mankind, wither and die
The world is heading towards the end
In denial the fools will carry on
Some people will refuse to accept the truth and continue as they are
A face unseen will show you what I mean
Something unknown will reveal the truth to doubters
When the legions arise to destroy
Huge groups of people will come together to create chaos
Another day has come to end
The day has ended and nothing has changed
No one heard my prophecy
No one listened to my warning
And if tomorrow brings decay
If the future is filled with destruction
Then it's only my price to pay
It will be the result of my negative outlook
Now look, ripping divine serpent
Pay attention to this destructive event
Slither into their minds
It will not be long until people succumb to this negative idea
Destined to be, eternally
This destruction is destined to last forever
But you are the filth, and death is my God
Those who caused this destruction are terrible and death is what I worship.
From the grave black, rise and follow
Darkness has awakened and is following us
The strong will remain
Only the most resilient will survive
All there is left, this eternal horror
The only thing we have left is the terrible destruction
Now blood falls like rain
Violence and destruction is everywhere
