While They Embrace

By Eventide

Crushing blows to other species

Rushing through forbidden zones

Sucking flesh and sucking blood

Till there are just cold bones

Cunning actions, cunning shames

A plenty life in bliss

But nature’s screams woke up

The pretty brain of Nemesis

I already smell her work

I already taste a metallic threat

I already hear me screaming ...

That‘s the entry of the brand new race

Now they’re standing behind our backs

Take their stands to weaken steely necks

… while they embrace … you

Their comfortable gifts

Are just to pull our trusts

In truth, they are a plague

Like masses of locusts

Warm feelings are our weakness

And they’re as cold as frost

So they’re the poisoned rain

That forms our steel into rust

I already see the light

I already feel the heat

I already see us dying

They’re not more than a big asteroid

Their direction along our crown

Giving light before its smashing down

… and now we bleed

Crushing blows to our species

Rushing through our former zones

Sucking flesh and sucking blood

Till we are lifeless stones

We are weeping for our sins

Enveloped in our blaze

The crown of our empire is lost

And nature’s without grace

The theme park’s colors turn into grey

And its guests will be formed like clay

Before they all are blown away …

That‘s the entry of the brand new race

Now they’re standing behind our backs

Take their stands to break our rusty necks

… while they embrace … you
