Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolutions 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

Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have 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...­lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smouldering 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

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
Colour our world blackened

Blackened

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolutions 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

Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have 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...­lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smouldering 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

When you hear the intro to this song on the album, you're actually hearing what the
band played backwards.  To hear it how the band actually recorded it, put the CD into
your CD drive and use a sound recording software (Sound Recorder, Cool Edit, Sound Forge,
whatever you have on your computer) to record just the beginning.  Then you can find the
reverse function and hear it how they recorded it!

In this tab, riffs 1a through 1d is the tab for how they recorded it.  Riff 1b is a continuation
of 1a which is the "lead guitar" (actually recorded as 2 seperate tracks), and riffs 1c and 1d
are the "rythm guitar" the chords under it.  Riffs 1e through 1h (below) is the tab for the
album version and it works the same way.

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolutions 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

Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have 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

Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life
Termination....expiration...cancellation­...human race
Expectation...liberation...population...­lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smouldering 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

Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire

Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened

Notation:
.  - palm mute
h  - hammer on
p  - pull off
!  - I used these to glue the dots to the page. Huh? (just ignore them).
s/  - slide up           these are used for normal
s                         and ghost slides
\  - slide down

In general I tried to keep one dash '-' equal to a thirty-second note.
Thus,
|-0---0---0---0---   are eight notes and

|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-   are sixteenth notes.

Lyrics

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 of our world Blackened

Blistering of Earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly Nicotine
Kills what might have 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 of 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    Lay to waste
    See our Mother
    Put to death
    See our Mother die.

Smouldering 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

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolutions 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

Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have 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...­lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smouldering 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
