Terminus

[Intro:] 'Megeddo's Gateway.' Hunter of the silent darkness-- Mighty steel leviathan, Rise from your nocturnal vigil-- 'Davey Jones' the time has come. Send spitting fires and roaring thunder--instigate Poseidon's wrath, Unleash the terrors of the deep uncertain of the aftermath. Attack is the best form of defense--fingers on a keyboard play, When genocide's a numbered sequence death is but a breath away. I. I hear sirens screaming-- C. See lightning rip the sky, B. Be afraid my darling-- M. Embrace me as we die. Dark clouds gather (tensions mounting)--current tides are making waves, They navigate a sea of tears--above them storms in tea-cups rage. Only Jonah 'neath the ocean witnesses the damage done, But can't turn back the hands of time--none can unload a smoking gun. I. I hear sirens screaming-- C. See lightning rip the sky, B. Be afraid my darling-- M. Embrace me as we die. The lords of Fleet Street speculate--as noble statesmen mediate, They tread on thin ice cracked by hate--one slip could spell disaster. We gave you power to decide--but now you gamble with our lives, We've all been taken for a ride--next stop the hereafter. These implements of science-friction-- Are the pawns of power play, By splitting hairs and splitting atoms-- They'll kill us all the 'new-clear' way. Entice us through Megeddo's gateway on this final exodus, As flesh is turned to ash and vapour by the fires of 'terminus.' --- Terminus - Skyclad
