Mad Locust Rising [Live 2003]

[Intro: Spoken]
This is for all the
Plague-infested locusts
In the audience:
"Mad Locust Rising"!

[Verse 1]
Their mating has started
There's no way to stop them
Brushed by the wings
Of the King, Nostradamus
Thundering black
Of the swarms are upon us
The cup of the wrath
The winepress of death

[Pre-Chorus]
The whore and the beast
Is having a feast
On mankind and his weakness
The scabs of the lustful
The womb is distrustful
Subsiding with pain, the abyss

[Verse 2]
A small, open country
With wide-open fields
The villagers run
From the pain that thеy yield
The bite of thе locust
The witchdoctor's potion
The curse of
The insect's infection

[Verse 3]
Deceit is upon us
The scars that won't heal
The signs they're preparing
Are being revealed
They fly in a pack, prepare for attack
Carnivorously lusting your flesh

[Pre-Chorus]
Flying, striking
Spreading their wings
There's no denying their presence
The prophecy's gone
They warned us they'd come
Soon, they'll be coming for you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The battle is won
But losing the war
'Geddon is so very near
They've broken the seal
They're coming for you...
Attack!

[Chorus]
Locust and plagues
Locust and plagues
Locust and plagues
Locust and plagues

[Solo]

[Interlude: Spoken]
Let me see your hands!

[Verse 4]
The mad locust rising
Revealing his wings
Preparing to fly once again
Soon, others like him
Will rise up to fight
"Attack," the bloody command

[Verse 5]
The swarm's moving north
Will attack and destroy
Cities and kingdoms we've built
Slashing and chomping
To the ends of the earth
They seek to recapture the child

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Across the waters
The swarm getting closer
Their destination unknown
Commanded by vengeance
With bloodthirsty teeth
The blood of the martyrs they shield

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The woman repents
But too late, she's spent
There's no hiding guilt
Once brushed by the wings
The threshold of fate
The furnace of pain
It's waiting for you
The coming of

[Chorus]
Locust and plagues
Locust and plagues
Locust and plagues
Locust and plagues...!

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Mad locust rising
The plagues are upon us
Mad locust rising
The plagues are upon us
Mad locust rising
The plagues are upon us
Mad locust rising
The plagues are upon us...

[Outro]
The coming of locust and plague
