Everything Went Black Lyrics
Crawling the walls, through every crack and crevice teems blackness washing over the windowpanes, painting the buildings in between. Creeping down the alley ways consuming every street, soundless swarm of nothingness sure to doom us all.
Pulling screaming earthlings into its toothless jaws, endlessly begging, spreading with no sign of stop. Horror of horrors truely maddening in size, running just prolongs the end inevitably, it strives.
Where has it come from? How can it be stopped? So quickly we're to meet our end, our empire we have lost. Karmatic armegeddon, no religion could foresee a planet once forsaken, not even a memory.
Streetlights bend into the void, cars enveloped into the darkness, deeper than a blind man's sleep, soon to paint the world. Insatiable in hunger, it drinks the sea without a belch, stretching to the other side where it is sure to meet itself.
[Solo]
Unearthly vacuum devouring, the hourglass now empty, it's time to say goodbye. Watching your life flash before mortal eyes, terror fills your heart, screams of anguish greet your ears.
Living death, voracious, insidious, impervious to damage. We are slaughtered as if lambs. Horror of horrors truely maddening in size, running just prolongs the end inevitably, it strives.
Where has it come from? How can it be stopped? So quickly we're to meet our end, our empire we have lost. Karmatic armegeddon, no religion could foresee a planet once forsaken, not even a memory.

What are you talking about, bringeroflight? Trevor Strnad ALWAYS sang with alternatining high/low pitched vocals - it's his trademark.
lol trademark? yeah, just like those hundreds of deathcore bands that do the same thing. (not saying tbdm is a deathcore band, because theyre not)

For my literature class we had to look through our songs and find a ballad to brind into class with the lyrics. everyone else was doing like Queen and The Used and stuff.
anyway i brought in this song and my teacher heard the song and read through the lyrics and said the black hole was symbolic for technology and stuff.

karmatic obviously meaning karma things like global warming, polution and everything. i cant be bothered explaining much more but it makes sence if you think about it.
Some massive evil consuming the earth? Maybe a black hole, 'Streetlights bend into the void,'. Awesome song =D xx
Art of Drowning is right. Trevor said this song is about a dark hole destroying the world mainly about the horror of the earth being destroyed.
best song on the album hands down
Brilliant song. Especially love the chorus - most memorable BDM lyrics I've ever heard. Nocturnal is a great album.
As for meaning; Armageddon. Needs no more explanation.
I never said I didn't like the fact that he alternated, I said his new scream isn't nearly as good as Unhallowed and yes there is a difference.
it drinks the sea without a belch i used to hate this band. now i love it plus i like his new screams better.
In early october when they started up the Large Hadron Collider they were talking about how a black hole could be created and the earth would be consumed, whole end of the world saga blah blah blah;
even though this song was written a year before you can make the connection
an unearthly vacuum devouring toothless jaws; obviously black hole
karmatic armageddon, no religion could forsee, a planet once forsaken, not even a memory; religions dont reckon black holes will end the world nothing will be left, so no memories
i thought it was kinda freaky cus i heard the song 2 weeks before they fired up the collider
TBDM FXCKING OWNS MOTHAFUCKAAAAA =] Nocturnal has to be one of the best albums ever
fucking beautiful, these guys are incapable of making a bad song. Worlds end, ha ha , I love apocalyptic songs.

Okay, I may be completely incorrect here, but I read this comic fairly recently known as "Blackest Night" under the title of DC about the various lantern corps. In this comic, the black corp, representing death, takes over the world from outer space and begins to take the spirits of each of the other corp and slowly dominates the world in general. I guess "Living death, voracious, insidious, impervious to damage." represents the beings that it takes unto it's undead curse, "Where has it come from? How can it be stopped? " reminds me a lot of Hal Jordan's reaction as he is initially unaware of the existence of these rings. Okay, my theory probably is wrong but you know :P I love this song and band!
