And I listened and I heard
The colour of blood
And I beheld and I saw
The voice of the Lord
Sweeping over the masses
Removing the cover from the fierce mouths of a new plague
Swiftly turning our cities into still graves
Messianic pestilence
And I sniffed and I smelled
The drumbeats of Hell
Like a thousand commingling thunders
Violently shaking the foundations of the earth
The old land of life has failed
Newer rites of death prevail
Swiftly turning our cities into still graves
Messianic pestilence
Messianic pestilence
Messianic pestilence
Christlike plague
Of holy death
Messianic pestilence
And I spoke and I called
For the grandeurs of War
To rage upon mankind
To again roar among the congregations of the earth
The old land of life has failed
Newer rites of Death prevail
