[Intro]

Once given a message

To rise from the wreckage

They say that the author

Is dead in the water

[Verse 1]

The beasts of our darkest nights

Are coming to life

They’re cutting into our spines

And twisting the knife

[Chorus]

Plagues falling from the sky

Pull the wool over my eyes

Slaves to a dying light

Without the courage to fight

Plagues falling from the sky

Pull the wool over my eyes

Slaves to a dying light

Without the courage to fight

[Verse 2]

A violent reckoning

The silence deafening

Hide from the storm, under the floor

A prisoner of war

Becoming deformed from all of the thorns

Nothing to live for

Never more, your body is worn

A story so forlorn, but no life to mourn

The fabric’s torn

Losing your grip, a sinking ship

As you drown in it

The water within soaks into the skin

Just like every sin you commit

There’s no medicine to cure all your ailments

So open up and give in

[Chorus]

Plagues falling from the sky

Pull the wool over my eyes

Slaves to a dying light

Without the courage to fight

Plagues falling from the sky

Pull the wool over my eyes

Slaves to a dying light

Without the courage to fight

[Interlude]

Once given a message

To rise from the wreckage

They say that the author

Is dead in the water

[Verse 3]

No, no hope for us

Sacrificing the human race for your personal gain

Taking away everything that makes us feel alive

We are servants to the hive

Slaving away until we decay

Fade into nothingness

Just to be replaced

[Chorus]

Plagues falling from the sky

Pull the wool over my eyes

Slaves to a dying light

Without the courage to fight

Plagues falling from the sky

Pull the wool over my eyes

Slaves to a dying light

Without the courage to fight
