Twilight of the Gods
Helloween Lyrics

Insania two-oh-four
The year is 204, and humanity has abandoned its former gods.

We've thrown away our former gods
Humanity has turned away from its traditional beliefs in favor of new, man-made gods.

Controlling our day
These new gods hold sway over every aspect of day-to-day life.

We have created better ones
Humanity believes that its new, technologically advanced gods are superior to the old ones.

So we control the way
By creating its own gods, humanity has gained complete control over its own destiny.

We are the ones with the power
Humanity is now the dominant force in the world, thanks to its powerful new gods.

To hold down the enemy
These new gods are used to maintain order and suppress any dissent or opposition.

Our gods are perfection
Humanity believes that its new gods are infallible and flawless.

And they are protecting our lives
These gods are seen as guardians, shielding humanity from harm.

We still need some more of them
Despite having created many new gods, humanity believes it needs even more to stay safe.

To be safe from the other side
Humanity sees the world as a dangerous and unpredictable place, and seeks to protect itself from outside threats.

As long as we're stronger
As long as humanity remains more powerful than any potential adversaries, it believes it will be safe.

Nothing will happen to us
Humanity sees itself as invincible and immune to disaster, so long as its gods are protecting it.

Fire and flash in the night
A frightening and destructive event takes place in the darkness.

Just an evil dream
Humanity hopes that this is all just a terrible nightmare.

Holy war in the sky, never
Despite the appearance of a divine conflict, humanity still believes its gods are all-powerful and invincible.

Insania two-oh-sixteen
The year is now 2016, some time after the events of the first verse.

Error in store one-oh-three
Something has gone wrong at a technological facility, with disastrous results.

We watch the sun at night
Some calamitous event has rendered the sky dark, making the sun visible even at night.

The pretty gods we've built ourselves
Humanity has come to realize that its self-made gods were not as perfect as they once believed.

Now terminate our lives
These flawed gods have turned against humanity, and are now actively working to destroy it.

Silicon brain powered voices
The voices of these malfunctioning gods are described as being cold and mechanical.

Are crying (attack) tonight
These gods are now attacking humanity, and their screams and cries are heard throughout the night.

Our Gods are now fighting in anger, burning our world
The conflict between humanity and these angry, violent gods rages on, causing widespread destruction.

The doomsday has come and there is no place to hide away
Humanity is faced with the apocalypse, and there is nowhere to hide from the wrath of these avenging gods.

The future is over and there is no turning back
It is clear now to humanity that its past decisions have irrevocably led to its destruction, and that there is no way to go back and change course.

Fire and flash in the night
Despite the severity of the situation, there is still a profound sense of unreality and disbelief surrounding the events.

Now reality
The situation is indeed all too real, and humanity is forced to face the horrifying consequences of its choices.

Twilight of the Gods, insania's dead and gone
The end of the world has arrived, and the humanity that created these flawed gods is now extinct.

Another world was born but the twilight soon will come
A new world has taken the place of the old, but it too will eventually fall into darkness and decay.

Twilight of the Gods, insania's dead and gone
The death of humanity and its flawed gods has signaled the end of an era in the universe.

Another world was born but the twilight soon will come
Despite the appearance of a new world, it is doomed to follow the same path as the old, and will eventually face the same disastrous fate as its predecessor.
