Locust Swarm

(album: Black Moon Rising - 2014)

There's a sigh from the barren soil
Dysfunctional ecology
Cycles soon in turmoil
Tomorrow's promises die
By an ancient golden deity
Udders one by one dry

Another concience join to the funeral feast
Another sacrifice thrown to the beast
Hearken to the tolling bell
Of a worn out world's last yell

Who is the bringer of the coming storm?
Who is the last victim that we now condemn?
Who is the demon there in human form?
That's kneeling down in worship to the requiem
For the locust swarm

There's a rotten smell to the mound
A bitter taste to mortality
Fertility gone unsound
The recipe to our grave
Unnecessary necessities
Human kind now enslaved

Who is the bringer of the coming storm?
Who is the last victim that we now condemn?
Who is the demon there in human form?
That's kneeling down in worship to the requiem

Another concience join to the funeral feast
Another sacrifice thrown to the beast
Hearken to the tolling bell
Of a worn out world's last yell

Who is the bringer of the coming storm?
Who is the last victim that we now condemn?
Who is the demon there in human form?
That's kneeling down in worship to the requiem

Who is the serpent of the paradise?
Who is the snake tongue that now joins the requiem
For the locust swarm?
