Trickery of the Scourge - Steel Prophet

Once we could see it was all certain

They came to us by night

Somehow disease has spread the scroll

Why do we believe prophecy?

The humans became the pests

The scourge that threatened all life

The earth in her ways devised trickery

Interprets what must be a sign

Leave and you’ll save us

Whom lives on will thank us

The prophecy needs us to fade

Lies!

Truth!

Lies!

Truth!

When germs are the species endangered

And insects hold keys to our fate

Plant’s lives we’ve yet to see

The crowds have become as a cancer

The city has paved over life

The glow of technology blinds us

We’re pestilence to air, land and sea

Leave and you’ll save us

Whom lives on will thank us

The prophecy needs us to fade

Lies!

Truth!

Lies!

Truth!

I see twilight ahead

A fog rises up from the sea

A balance is held in a hand

A veil through which no man may see

Why should I go?

Who tells me so?

What will I see?

Is it just one of her tricks?

Why am I born?

Who gives a care?

Why must I die?

Tell me it’s not all in vain?
