Scourge of the Offspring

Cattle Decapitation

5

Hell hath wrought upon this earth

From the desires of the patriarch

To carry thine name unto the dawnA hapless spawn to go on and on and on

A swift and deadly virus has once again emerged

Blessed upon humankind to control the surge

We are the scourge

One more host to transmit death

One more ghost shaped from my breath

Human beings, they never learn

Even as their houses burn

We are infections

We are pathogens

We are assassins

The gluttonous factions

Curve never flattens when the population fattens

What a wondrous life this would have been

But I′m outnumbered like the stars at night

There's so many of us that need to die

Like a swarm of flies, there′s too many of us

We came to destroy

We're alive to cause abject suffering

The troops are deployed

Ultimately, unanimously outnumbering

Live to feast upon everything

Feed to dilapidate our surroundings

Enveloped by kindred societies

Evil corrupt heterogeneity

From the pupa to a nymph

Molting each stage of our lives 'til cold and stiff

Now thriving terrasites, dramatic shift

Now as a parasite humanity persists

What a wondrous life this would have been

But I′m outnumbered like the stars at night

There′s so many of us that need to die

Like a swarm of flies, there's too many of us

We need to die, can this vengeance please be mine?

A virus emerged to control the surge

A virus emerged, we become the scourge
