The Cleansing

[00:17.36] I watched you from the sky
[00:21.43] As populations rise
[00:25.32] Feasting on Earth like flies
[00:28.95] Ensuring your demise
[00:32.91] Generations repeating the pattern
[00:36.61] Their stories told but never changed their minds
[00:40.51] A life of excess, keep feeding the glutton
[00:44.43] Bask in filth like a hoard of swine
[00:47.84] Come now, watch the fall
[00:51.60] You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing
[00:55.78] Come now, watch the fall
[00:59.17] A plague of contempt, a down pouring of pain
[01:18.95] I've watched you from the sky (from the sky)
[01:22.81] As the impoverished die
[01:26.74] Pay no heed to their cries (to their cries)
[01:30.44] Now tremble as I rise
[01:35.07]
[01:54.36] Feel my pestilent hands
[01:58.30] Pernicious touch
[02:00.18] My ruinous arms embracing you
[02:04.00] My blade to the hoard
[02:05.99] Avenging the dirt
[02:07.47] I'll spare but few (I'll spare but few)
[02:11.44] It takes but one to make
[02:15.39] A spark to emanate
[02:19.10] The masses, soon to wake
[02:22.94] Their voices resonate
[02:26.35]
[03:12.01] Exposed for who I am, no more hiding in the shadows
[03:15.97] I'm praised by the weeds, I'm cursed to the gallows
[03:19.89] A hero of the heathens, I'm a pillar of despair
[03:23.47] A vast and vacant chasm of darkness
[03:26.30] You'll find me there
[03:33.95] You'll find me there
[03:42.01] You'll find me
[03:43.81] As I move on through the hoard
[03:48.60] Insistent on spreading my rage
[03:51.11] Underneath black dirt and dried up tears
[03:56.12] Their faces begin to change
[03:59.48]
[04:14.41] A man rose to his feet
[04:18.34] His temper refused defeat
[04:22.26] A song for the runaway
[04:26.11] The people, they heard him say
[04:30.12] Take back your voice, lift your heads
[04:35.03] And focus your eyes on the sky
[04:37.95] Our time must not yet end
[04:41.82] Together, together, together
[04:47.26] We will mend
[04:54.91] We will mend
[05:05.10] Our time must not yet end
[05:08.75] Together we will mend
[05:12.68] This song's for you, my friends
[05:16.59] This time, these lives
[05:20.46] This world is ours to tend
[05:26.67]
[06:41.24] From the throne to the thorns
[07:00.05] I've watched you from the sky
[07:03.95] As the sun starts to rise
[07:07.84] Revealing my disguise
[07:11.78] I can finally close my eyes
[07:15.24] Come now, watch my fall
[07:22.82] Come now, watch my fall
[07:30.48] Come now, watch my fall
[07:34.12] My deceit created defiance
[07:38.02] Come now, watch my fall
[07:42.05] My treachery led to their triumph
[07:47.76]
