lyrics

AS HIDDEN PESTS
BURROW UNDER CLOTH
WE CAN’T RESIST
SPOILING OUR BROTH

THE RICHES GLEAM SO FAIR
PARADISE IS WHERE
WE DECIDE WE HAVEN’T HAD ENOUGH

VIRULENT DISEASES
ENTER HALLS BENEATH US
AMONG FILTHY LITTLE CREATURES
SLEEPING WITH THE SILVER

REACHING SHORES
WE ARE WELCOMED HOME
NO-ONE ASKED FOR
WHAT’S HIDDEN DEEP BELOW

TRANSMISSION NOW OF SORTS
THE GOLD HAS CHARMED OUR LORDS

WE ARE DOOMED TO REAP
WHAT WE HAVE SOWN

CROSS-COUNTRY PANDEMIC
POPULATIONS HALVING
DANCING FILTHY LITTLE RODENTS
UNDER ARCHES WHICH ARE GOLDEN

CAN’T BELIEVE
NO ONE HAD YET RETRIEVED
A GEM SO PURE
(SLITHER INSIDE TO STEAL YOUR BREATH)
YET IT SEEMS, OUR CELEBRATION’S BEEN PREMATURE
(CALL ME THE PLAGUE, OR JUST BLACK DEATH)

PULL US DOWNWARDS
LEAVING NARY A TRACE
GUESS IT’S COMMONPLACE
TO BELIEVE LIKE SHEEP
THAT WE WILL BE SAVED
FROM THE END OF THE HUMAN RACE

FROM THE END OF
FINAL CRESCENDO

CAN’T BELIEVE
NOW THAT I FINALLY
UNDERSTAND
(SLITHER INSIDE TO TAKE WHAT’S LEFT)
EXIT ME, ERADICATION SEEMS
TO RULE THE LAND
(CALL ME THE PLAGUE, OR JUST BLACK DEATH)

PULL US DOWNWARDS
LEAVING NARY A TRACE
GUESS IT’S COMMONPLACE
TO BELIEVE LIKE SHEEP
THAT WE WILL BE SAVED
FROM THE END OF THE HUMAN RACE
