[Chorus] Darkest Lord your mercy shall I gain Strike the match, engulf the earth in flames In flames, in flames, in flames
[Verse 2] Nature quaking Prophets aching I kneel, faithful Damnation cracks the sky My heart, fiction Superstition Your grace, deathless Give life to my last breath
[Chorus] Darkest Lord your mercy shall I gain Strike the match, engulf the earth in flames In flames, in flames, in flames
[Bridge] Grant them eternal rest in your honor Embrace them into an army of undead Strike with vengeance those who oppose your will And lay waste to all unsufficently served before you Walk with them and free them from the blinding light of servitude And devastate your enemies as they die by your hand Amen
[Verse 3] Rise from ashes Violence clashes My soul vacant Cleanse me of all this sin I stand guilty I bleed filthy Born of fire Savor this final hour
[Chorus] Darkest Lord your mercy shall I gain Strike the match, engulf the earth in flames In flames, in flames, in flames

The song was originally written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, so this is basically a metal version. The song is about God reigning judgement upon the living, and it is basically about losing your connection with god and realizing how wrong you’ve been your entire life. It is about someone begging for heaven in their final hour.
