Embrace Annihilation Lyrics

Embrace the end
As we descend
Deeper into the fire

The pain that you feel
The nightmare is reeling you in

Grasping, crawling, clinging to life
Holding on to illusions
Tearing, feeding, tasting the blood
As you savor the killing

Welcome, welcome to the apocalypse
A twisted smile upon the Devil's lips

Strike out the sun
Winter's begun
Bringing the death of desire

Shatter the seal
The horsemen of doom ride again

Grasping, crawling, clinging to life
Holding on to illusions
Tearing, feeding, tasting the blood
As you savor the killing

Welcome, welcome to the apocalypse
A twisted smile upon the Devil's lips

Embracing
Embrace annihilation
Embracing
Embrace annihilation

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song could have been written with Steve Leonard in mind, as he liked anything to do with killing and war. Although it's about the apocalypse, if someone in the band has read or has children who have read The Saga of Darren Shan, if they are on Team Steve, this song would satisfy them.
