Skyclad - Terminus Lyrics
[Intro:] 'Megeddo's Gateway.'Hunter of the silent darkness--Mighty steel leviathan,Rise from your nocturnal vigil--'Davey Jones' the time has come.Send spitting fires and roaring thunder--instigate Poseidon's wrath,Unleash the terrors of the deep uncertain of the aftermath.Attack is the best form of defense--fingers on a keyboard play,When genocide's a numbered sequence death is but a breath away.I. I hear sirens screaming--C. See lightning rip the sky,B. Be afraid my darling--M. Embrace me as we die.Dark clouds gather (tensions mounting)--current tides are making waves,They navigate a sea of tears--above them storms in tea-cups rage.Only Jonah 'neath the ocean witnesses the damage done,But can't turn back the hands of time--none can unload a smoking gun.I. I hear sirens screaming--C. See lightning rip the sky,B. Be afraid my darling--M. Embrace me as we die.The lords of Fleet Street speculate--as noble statesmen mediate,They tread on thin ice cracked by hate--one slip could spell disaster.We gave you power to decide--but now you gamble with our lives,We've all been taken for a ride--next stop the hereafter.These implements of science-friction--Are the pawns of power play,By splitting hairs and splitting atoms--They'll kill us all the 'new-clear' way.Entice us through Megeddo's gateway on this final exodus,As flesh is turned to ash and vapour by the fires of 'terminus.'
