Plagues Of Babylon Lyrics & Chords By Iced Earth

We lie in wait, the time is drawing near
Earth crisis all too clear
The human virus starting to awake
So we must manipulate

We can't accept this human threat
The power structure is intact
As gods on earth we will forsake
We must release the plague

So if you're asking yourself, why?
Your eyes are blind to the raging storm
Will they cleanse the earth of humanity?
Unleash the plagues of Babylon?

Compliance
Submission
Cowards led astray
Traitors
Liars
Deceivers have their way

"And this shall be the plague with which
The gods will strike all the people
That wage war against them,
Their flesh will rot while
They are standing on their feet,
Their eyes will rot in their sockets,
And their tongues will rot in their mouths"

There's no escape, they feed from our hands
Our minions plot as they make their stand
As gods on earth, we have foreseen
We'll make the peasants bleed

So if you're asking yourself, why?
Your eyes are blind to the raging storm
Will they cleanse the earth of humanity?
Unleash the plagues of Babylon?
