The Cleansing — текст песни

I watched you from the sky

As populations rise

Feasting on Earth like flies

Ensuring your demise

Generations repeating the pattern

Their stories told but never changed their minds

A life of excess, keep feeding the glutton

Bask in filth like a hoard of swine

Come now, watch the fall

You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing

Come now, watch the fall

A plague of contempt, a down pouring of pain

I've watched you from the sky

As the impoverished die

Pay no heed to their cries

Now tremble as I rise

Feel my pestilent hands

Pernicious touch

My ruinous arms embracing you

My blade to the hoard

Avenging the dirt

I'll spare but few, (I'll spare but few)

It takes but one to make

A spark to emanate

The masses, soon to wake

Their voices resonate

Exposed for who I am

No more hiding in the shadows

I'm praised by the weeds

I'm cursed to the gallows

A hero of the heathens

I'm a pillar of despair

A vast and vacant chasm of darkness

You'll find me there

You'll find me there

As I move on through the hoard

Insistent on spreading my rage

Underneath black dirt and dried up tears

Their faces begin to change

A man rose to his feet

His temper refused defeat

A song for the runaway

The people, they heard him say

Take back your voice, lift your heads

And focus your eyes on the sky

Our time must not yet end

Together

Together

Together

We will mend

We will mend

Our time must not yet end

Together we will mend

This song's for you, my friends

This time, these lives

This world is ours to tend

From the throne to the thorns

I've watched you from the sky

As the sun starts to rise

Revealing my disguise

I can finally close my eyes

Come now, watch my fall

Come now, watch my fall

Come now, watch my fall

My deceit created defiance

Come now, watch my fall

My treachery led to their triumph
