Wormwood
Tristania Lyrics

The third angel blew his trumpet,
The start of the apocalypse is happening as the third angel blows his trumpet.

And a great star fell from heaven,
A star, symbolizing destruction and chaos, fell from the sky.

Blazing like a torch,
The star was bright and burning hot.

And it fell on a third of the rivers
The falling star contaminated one-third of the world's rivers.

And in the fountains of water
The star also contaminated fountains of water across the globe.

The name of the star is Wormwood
The star responsible for destroying one-third of the world is called Wormwood.

A third of the waters became Wormwood,
One-third of the world's waters became contaminated and bitter due to Wormwood's effects.

And many died of the water,
The contaminated water caused the deaths of many people.

Because it was made bitter
The water had become bitter and poisonous as a result of Wormwood's effects.

Brought to us by Judas kiss?
