Arch Enemy - Black Earth Lyrics






Across the lake of fire
Through the desserts of decay
The flames are burning higher
In this land of death you're easy prey

Black Earth
Save - Our - Souls

Looking back in anger
At the twentieth century
Tormented we surrender
In artificial serenity

Twisted, torn and burnt
Violation of the crust
Man got what man deserved
Turned the future into dust

A millenary failure
The dark age has returned
Waiting for a miracle
To save the common herd

"In a century of darkness
The horror spreads within -
As our planet stops to turn
All hope is lost for man"

Arch Enemy Black Earth Comments
  1. L.... ....

    1. Pause.
    2. Put speed "Playback speed" to 0.75.
    3. Now you are listening the intro riff of CARCASS "Lavaging expectorate of lysergide composition".

  2. D.... A....

    True arch enemy.

  3. A.... m....

    0:41 <3

  4. n.... n....

    back when they were at least kinda good

  5. D.... M....

    I suppose Angela will always be synonymous with Arch Enemy but for me Johans vocals were always better

    D.... M....

    He is better!!!!

  6. S.... T....

    Such primal savagery in vocals, with more voice instead of overdone growling, indeed reminds of Carnivore a lot. I liked this in Arch Enemy.

  7. I.... E....

    The perfect way to spend your day off!

  8. m.... m....

    i prefer the new arch enemy with the woman singer alisa white gulz (cant spell)

    m.... m....

    Shanellewolfy Hackett Alissa White-Gluz
    And same in a way, I prefer Alissa’s vocals but I prefer the instrumentals from the Johan and Angela eras.

  9. j.... m....

    The real Arch Enemy!!

  10. C.... S....

    I personally like the 2009 remake better.

  11. D.... F....

    I wonder if carcass cover this amazing song

  12. J.... B....

    im late as fuck... but god damn I didnt know Michael Amott was in Carcass before this...

  13. L.... M....

    can you believe how far away from this Arch Enemy has gone?! Sounds totally generic now. Johan was the best,  I will admit I liked Angela Gassow but again totally different.

    L.... M....

    Miss S you have a shit ear. They have been so consistent it’s kind of astounding.

  14. N.... I....

    Myb Amott predicted two girls singing in the future of this band so he put two girls on the cover art

  15. R.... w....

    This video is the proof mainstream peeps know nothing about real metal or music talent, if they did this vid would have Millions of views!

  16. h.... v....

    bury me an angel!!!! set my black soul...

    freeeaah

  17. M.... .....

    I like arch enemy but only this album this dude sounds fucking awesome I don't like the girls that signs in it now this dude had a much better voice and you can actually understand him

    M.... .....

    its almost like a good sounding grindcore style, reminds me of peter steele in his carnivore days. a crossover band if you didnt know

    M.... .....

    Carnivore are fucking sick

    M.... .....

    Same here, this album is a classic!

    M.... .....

    Mr . frog what?? You don’t like stigmata or burning bridges. This album is awesome though. I do like a lot of songs with Angela. The new arch enemy is not good but it’s not the singers fault. The songwriting ain’t there for me.

  18. L.... ....

    Masterpiece!

  19. P.... C....

    He has not actually using a death growl, just shouting...

  20. P.... O....

    Will always be my favorite AE song.

  21. R.... S....

    20 year Arch Enemy debut album /m/

  22. A.... F....

    excellent Metal \m/

  23. K.... 6....

    yusuke vocal is better than this

  24. K.... 6....

    yusuke vocal is better haha

    K.... 6....

    +Kuro Tenshi I cant stand the female vocalist.. They may of had multiple I dont know. I just now got into arch enemy when I heard this song. This shit kills. So much better than what they are now. Id like to hear something she has made that I could like but so far I haven't

    K.... 6....

    You must be talking about the singer with the blue hair , not the blonde one ( ANGELA) , she's the one who has way more balls than this singer in this song , look up the video for 'nemesis ' and you'll see how much better she is than this dude.

  25. K.... 6....

    yusuke vocal is better haha

  26. R.... D....

    Virtuoso Michael Amott can sure deliver a masterpiece...

  27. B.... G....

    Fucking masterpiece.

  28. H.... I....

    OLD ARCH ENEMY RULES (JOHAN ERA) !!! TRUE DEATH METAL...ANGELA AND ...(cant remember the name) ARE GREAT FOR MAKING PORN ALTHOUGH..

    H.... I....

    +Haus ItAp while Angela was a decent vocalist, Alissa is just fucking terrible.

    H.... I....

    There's no right or wrong, only point of views! Angela's growls reminds me too much of goblins and that's why I didn't like arch enemy at first. Now Alissa is amazing to me. Johan is almost decent. My opinion doesn't make any of them better or worse.

    H.... I....

    Liiva Was Better, and Angela Too.

    H.... I....

    What a shitty comment man. Angela sings even more brutal than Liiva I mean he is not a bad singer but I prefer to her.

  29. W.... S....

    wake up and hear the carcass

    W.... S....

    carcass best band ever!!

  30. B.... M....

    Get hearing aid.
    Seriously

  31. b.... ....

    Sorry, but Johan's "barking" sounds like crap.
    Angela is much better on vocals than he could ever hope to be.

    b.... ....

    Angela turned this band into commercial crap, Johan is way better, this is when they were raw and extreme, not like the plastic and lifeless crap they make nowadays.

    b.... ....

    This version is much better for me, and it was a great era not just for Johan and Arch Enemy but for metal in general.

  32. M.... F....

    Brutal riffing!! Awesome piece of music from when music was a part of our culture... Back then i used to bring my cd´s with me where ever i went, like so many others, and just sat and listened which often ended up smashing chairs and tables in our rage expression dancing!! :D Yeah that were the days!!!

  33. R.... J....

    angela vs johann is annoying. they both have strengths and weakness's. just because someone prefers one doesnt make them an untrue fan, though there are angela fanboys out there who dont really like the band. i like the band as a whole, and while i prefer angelas vocals, i think the songwriting was better when johann was in the band. and though i generally prefer angelas re-recordings, this song is an exception. angelas got nothing on johann here

  34. p.... ....

    This was the good Arch Enemy...

  35. a.... ....

    biggasm

  36. q.... ....

    2nd best tune right after heartwork

  37. D.... ....

    @Dianarocks333 he means "cursed for an eternity"

  38. E.... J....

    I can't believe the creativity of the band to do the riff at increasing tempo in 3:17 Just brilliant and orgasmic.

  39. t.... ....

    HOLY FUCKING GHAFFAGGEJAYULYFKTRDTRKF WOW!!!!!!!

  40. N.... ....

    KICK ASS RIFFAGE!!!

  41. y.... r....

    maldito por toda una eternidad
