First there was the collapse of civilization Anarchy, genocide, starvation Then when it seemed like shit couldn't get any more fucked up We got the plague The living death Closing his icy grip around the whole planet Then the rumors started The last hardcore MC's were working on a cure That would end the pestilence.
