Sweet carress
|
Grazes my skin
|
It's loveless
|
These hooks sink in
|
Behind an angel's disguise
|
An insect preys
|
Mandibles cut like a knife
|
The reckoning.
|
|
[Pre-Chorus]
|
Forming clouds
|
Their shadow shrouds
|
Louder the tattered wings they sound
|
Descending
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Down they come
|
The swarm of locusts
|
Skies above converge to choke us
|
Feast of souls consume the harvest
|
Young and old, suffer unto the locust
|
|
Surrender
|
These veins of blood
|
Devourer
|
Nothing sacred
|
Strings for the marionettes
|
See how they dance
|
Upon the wings that begat
|
Our pestilence
|
|
Forming clouds
|
Their shadow shrouds
|
Louder the tattered wings they sound
|
Descending
|
|
Down they come
|
The swarm of locusts
|
Skies above converge to choke us
|
Feast of souls consume the harvest
|
Young and old, suffer unto the locust
|
|
Bleeding
|
From my eyes
|
This plague is sent to erase us
|
Bleeding
|
From inside
|
These vermin can't infiltrate us
|
|
Faith appears and holds a candle
|
Hark the angels sing
|
|
Forming clouds
|
Their shadow shrouds
|
Louder the tattered wings they sound
|
Tear the veil
|
The lies derail
|
Purity ever will prevail
|
Trumpets sound
|
The shattered crown
|
Halos of truth now they surround
|
The charade come down
|
|
Down they come
|
The swarm of locusts
|
Skies above converge to choke us
|
Feast of souls consume the harvest
|
Young and old, suffer unto the locust
|
|
Down they come
|
The swarm of locusts
|
Skies above converge to choke us
|
Feast of souls consume the harvest
|
Young and old, suffer unto the locust
|
|
Oh!
|
