Plagues of Babylon Songtext

von Iced Earth

We lie in wait
Times is drawing near
Earth crises all too clear
The human virus starting to awake
So we must manipulate
Come on!

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 plague of Babylon!

Compliance (compliance)
Submission (submission)
Cowards
Led astray
Traitors (traitors)
Liars (liars)
Deceivers
Have their way

And this shall be the plague with which
The gods will strike all the peoples
That wage war against them
Their flesh will rot
While they′re standing on their feet
Their eyes will rot in their sockets
And their tongues will rot in their mouths
Yeah!

(Let me hear your voice say)

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

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
