Pestilence A dormant disease Spread like the plague Now roused it feeds
Parasite An infectious malaise Inflicting its pain On the minds of the weak
What fate awaits the bewildered herd When the whole is far less than the parts of the sum What demons wait to haunt our living dream Can we resist the lure of the promised land
Who will man the wall When the infected storm the gate Who will stand tall On the shoulders of their predecessors
Who will light the flame To dispel the coming dark age Who will guard the torch When the darkness engulfs us all
Imminent A catastrophic release The virus inflames Rampant lunacy
Can we defy the weight of history And shake the madness before it engulfs Must knowledge die another slow death As disease, relentless, runs its course
Must we endure another dark age Before this burden is unshackled from our back Then once more when the memory fades Will the darkness gather for attack
The vulnerable fall to the bite of dogmata Teeth dripping with poison through a maniacal grin Drenched in the blood Of the children they've martyred Inarticulate screams, the night closes in
