Locust Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Surrender, these veins are bled
Devour, nothing sacred
Strings pull the marionettes, see how they dance
Upon the winds that beget our pestilence

[Pre-Chorus]
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
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
