The Hive

(album: Revocation - 2013)

Signalled by pheromones, the mark of doom's been placed
Death squad deployed, the colony must be erased
Ominous droning of wings echoes on the wind
Swarming elite descend, the slaughter to begin

A superior genus
The highest order of hymenoptera
Horrifying behemoths
Completely defenseless against the terrors

Completely defenseless!

Infiltrate the hive
A massacre of inferior brethren

Drones rendered helpless in the face of this attack
Unstoppable voracity, nothing can hold them back
Moving with one purpose, killing with efficiency
Winged creatures lay siege
From this massacre, there will be no reprieve

A superior genus
The highest order of hymenoptera
Horrifying behemoths
Completely defenseless against the terrors

Completely defenseless!

An orgy of evisceration
Thoraxes severed by mandibles ravenous
Thousands lay gutted, from this extirpation so calamitous

Succulent larvae, the spoils of war
Regurgitating the brood, gorging on gore
