We are the earth intruders We are the earth intruders Muddy with twigs and branches Turmoil Carnage Here come the earth intruders We are the paratroopers, The beat of sharpshooters Comes straight from voodoo Shower of goodness coming to end the doubt—pouring over Shower of goodness coming to end We are the earth intruders We are the sharpshooters Flock of parachuters Necessary voodoo I have guided my bones through some voltage And love them still And love them to Metallic Carnage Furiousity Feel the speed We are the earth intruders We are the sharpshooters, Flock of parachuters Necessary voodoo There is turmoil out there Carnage Rambling What is to do but dig Dig bones out of earth? Mud graves Timber Morbid trenches Here come the earth intruders There’ll be no resistance We are the cannoneerers Necessary voodoo We are the earth intruders We are the earth intruders, Muddy with twigs and branches Forgive this tribe We are the earth intruders Muddy with twigs and branches We are the earth intruders We are the earth intruders Muddy with twigs and branches Marching We are the earth intruders Muddy with twigs and branches Marching
