Locust - Machine Head

Sweet caress

Grazes my skin

It’s loveless

These hooks sink in

Behind an angel’s disguise

An insect preys

Mandibles cut like a knife

The reckoning

Forming clouds

Their shadow shrouds

Louder the tattered wings they sound

Descending down

They come

The swarm of locusts

Skies above

Converge to choke us

Feast of souls

Consume the harvest

Young and old

Suffer unto the locust

Surrender

These veins are bled

Devoured

Nothing sacred

Strings pull the marionettes

See how they dance

Upon the winds that beget

Our pestilence

Forming clouds

Their shadow shrouds

Louder the tattered wings they sound

Descending down

Down they come

The swarm of locusts

Skies above

Converge to choke us

Feast of souls

Consume the harvest

Young and old

Suffer unto the locust

Bleeding from my eyes

This plague is sent to erase us

Bleeding from inside

These vermin can’t infiltrate us

Faith appears and holds a candle

Hark the angels sing

Forming clouds

Their shadow shrouds

Louder the tattered wings they sound

Tear the veil

The lies derail

Purity ever will prevail

Trumpets sound

The shattered crown

Halos of truth now they surround

The charade comes down

Down they come

The swarm of locusts

Skies above

Converge to choke us

Feast of souls

Consume the harvest

Young and old

Suffer unto the locust
