Once upon a time science opened up the door We would feed the hungry fields till they couldn't eat no more But the potions that we made touched the creatures down below, oh And they grew up in the way that we'd never seen before Supernature, supernature Supernature, supernature Supernature, supernature Supernature, supernature They were angry with the man 'cause he changed their way of life And they take their sweet revenge, as they trample through the night For a hundred miles or more you can hear the people cry But there's nothin' you can do even God is on their side Supernature, supernature Supernature, supernature Supernature, supernature Supernature, supernature How can I explain, things are different today Darkness all around and nobody makes a sound Such a sad affair, no one seems to care Supernature, better watch out Look at you now, better watch out Look at you now, supernature Better watch out, there's no way to stop it now You can't escape, it's too late Look what you've done, there's no place that you can run The monster's made, we must pay Supernature, you better watch out Supernature, look at you now Supernature, you better watch out Supernature, look at you now Better watch out, there's no way to stop it now You can't escape, it's too late (Supernature) Look what you've done, there's no place that you can run The monster's made, we must pay Maybe nature has a plan to control the ways of man He must start from scratch again many battles he must win Till he earns his place on earth like the other creatures do Will there be a happy end, now that all depends on you Supernature, supernature Supernature, supernature Supernature
