Lyrics for Blackened as interpreted by fennsk

Blackened 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 Our World Blackened

Bustering 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

Similar theme to "Fight Fire with Fire", It's about the end of the world caused by nuclear war. It's about how humans will cause the end of the world if we don't better ourselves.

I agree with king nothing. By the way, nice comments of SOAD also. I believe this song is inspired by the 50's and 60's when the cold war took place.

well, nuclear war seems to be one common interpretation of the song.

however, there is also a second one. And thats the human race is slowly killing the planet with pollution, war, etc.

The line "Never Seen Before, Breathing Nevermore" is about species that have gone instinct before we even noticed that they were there.

Hence also the line "see our mother die" as in mother nature. and the words "planet dies" as in nature dies.

just another interpretation of a kickass song

A fucking awesome song by the kings of metal. If only they still did kick ass songs like this one.

It's probably about the world being destroyed by nuclear war.

It's definitely about the end of the world due to a nuclear war. "Winter it will send;" duh! Nuclear winter. "Death of mother earth;" it takes 300 years (i think) for the radiation to drop to a non-deadly state. Nobody will survive underground long enough to rebuild, hence "never a rebirth." I could continue breaking it down line by line, but I think we're all smart enough to figure it out (at least I hope so).

Maybe its about humanity killing itself, and that if we dont take care of the earth, were only going to end up killing every living thing on it

ALLRIGHT!

This song fucking ownz. I love the intro to the song, along with it's actual meaning.....which is touched upon in earlier posts...but never thouroughly explained...so here goes.

The above posts talk about nuclear winter, apocalypse, and humans killing the Earth....who is right?
The Answer: All of you.

There is obvious evidence that points to thermonuclear weapons:
'Blackened is the end
Winter will it send...
...Fire'

If anyone was ever a Nuclear weapons afficianado like I am, and if you have seen pictures of nuclear devastation, you will notice that human bodies are litterally charred 'blackened' due to the intense heat of a nuclear blast. Considering that the heat generated but a nuclear bomb compared to the surface temperature of the sun is greater by a factor of 100, blackened indeed is the end.'

If you are familiar with the apocalyptic book 'Alas, Babylon', then the statement of an apocalypse caused directly by nuclear war is correct.

Lastly, humans, by using nuclear weapons will indeed kill the earth and all carbon based life. Nuclear Fallout or Black Rain will saturate the atmosphere with deadly radiation. Other radioactive constituents would promote genetic mutation NOT on a natural level 'Evolutions end...Never will it mend'.
The amount of particles in the air would most likely be in a great enough concentration to severely limit the heating effects of the sun, thus initiating nuclear winter.
The desolation would kill virtually all life.

Needless to say....a song that perhaps may not be far from the truth.. considering how things are going right now..
Population lay to waste....an excellent verse.
SO....we have nukes causing much apocalyptic havoc, which thus hitherfore kill the earth...which is already dying anyways.
Good job human race, for being big dum-dums...

there are a lot of lyrics that point to the song being about a nuclear war, and that is a sensible conclusion, but I have another suggestion.

Smoking

1. "Deadly Nicotine"
Cigarettes are deadly, and contain nicotine.

2. "Blackened is the end"
A dead smoker's lungs are black, with tar.

3. "Smouldering decay
Take her breath away"
Cigarettes smoulder, and cause shortness of breath.

I agree with Trinidadian.
I love this song, the solo is perfect, and I heard the intro was different, but when they were recording the song they were messing around with the sound and played the intro backwards, they thought it sounded a lot better and used it instead.

One of my all-time favourite songs by any band, however one line continues to stump me, "To begin whipping dance of the dead."

Does anyone know what the hell this particular line refers to?
