Birth of Depravity - To Bear Witness Lyrics

Watcher of ends
Surveyor of ruin and demise
Past and future
Present in all chapters of calamity

To behold desolation - See civilizations expire
Decimation in his wake
To look upon the undoing - Privy to cataclysms

A sole audience to the unfolding of catastrophic events
Disasters in time
Spectator of obliteration
Compelled to watch and record
A lone observer of the
Brutality
Devastation
Aftermath
Apocalypse
To bear witness calamities in time

The great dyings of old - Mass extinction events
Gazed upon in awe
Wars not yet fought - Wastelands of megadeath
Anthropogenic destruction

Asteroids impact, volcanoes erupt
Clouds of ash black out the sun
Cities levelled in the blink of an eye
Deployment of nuclear arms
Eyes to catch glimpse of finality - To bear witness
Destinations of mass deduction - Annihilation

Time travel to where disaster takes place
To document proceedings at hand

From nature's destructive power to atrocities of men
Seeking of total destruction
A seat at the apocalypse
The end of all for none but one to see
