Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x4
 blackened  is the end
 winter it will send
 throwing all you see
 into  obscurity
death  of mother earth
 never a rebirth
 evolution's end
never  will it mend
never
Fire
 to begin  whipping dance  of the dead
 blackened is  the end
 to begin  whipping dance  of the dead
 color  our world blackened
blackened
blistering  of earth
 terminate its worth
 deadly nicotine
 kills  what might've  been
callous,  frigid chill
 nothing left to kill
 never seen before
 breathing  nevermore
never
Fire
 to begin  whipping dance  of the dead
 blackened is  the end
 to begin  whipping dance  of the dead
 color  our world blackened
blackened
 opposition,  contradiction, premonition, compromise
agitation,  violation, mutilation, planet dies
 darkest color
 blistered earth
 true death of life
termination,  expiration, cancellation, human race
 expectation, liberation, population laid to waste
 see our mother
 put to death
 see our mother die
 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
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
