I watched you from the sky As populations rise Feasting on Earth like flies Ensuring your demise Generations repeating the pattern Their stories told but never changed their minds A life of excess, keep feeding the glutton Bask in filth like a hoard of swine Come now, watch the fall You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing Come now, watch the fall A plague of contempt, a down pouring of pain I've watched you from the sky As the impoverished die Pay no heed to their cries Now tremble as I rise Feel my pestilent hands Pernicious touch My ruinous arms embracing you My blade to the hoard Avenging the dirt I'll spare but few (I'll spare but few) It takes but one to make A spark to emanate The masses, soon to wake Their voices resonate Exposed for who I am No more hiding in the shadows I'm praised by the weeds I'm cursed to the gallows A hero of the heathens I'm a pillar of despair A vast and vacant chasm of darkness (You'll find me there) (You'll find me there) You'll find me- As I move on through the hoard Insistent on spreading my rage Underneath black dirt and dried up tears Their faces begin to change A man rose to his feet His temper refused defeat A song for the runaway The people, they heard him say "Take back your voice Lift your heads And focus your eyes on the sky Our time must not yet end Together Together Together We will mend" We will mend Our time must not yet end Together we will mend This song's for you, my friends This time, these lives This world is ours to tend From the throne to the thorns I've watched you from the sky As the sun starts to rise Revealing my disguise I can finally close my eyes Come now, watch my fall Come now, watch my fall Come now, watch my fall My deceit created defiance Come now, watch my fall My treachery led to their triumph
