As Vermin Swarm (Plague: Ira) Lyrics

Failure
A rank taste so bitter

So foul
The light of a thousand stars eclipsed by vanity

As facile vermin swarm to deny their bloodborn mourning light
This waste of flesh and bone repulses, undignified
To stumble forth, to sabotage unedified
An embarrassment of rags burned riches bestowed from high

The great deception, that tongues unsplit be forked
Squeeze the lie til sanguine drip, for man shall live for nevermore

Hate reigns, in his name, the god of wrath
Duplicity divine

Their venin poisoned minds
Shall wreak my havoc, roil
Sow discord, no abeyance
For I shall deny their demise

Lead: ‘’suit & tie scum’ (lee james appleton)

Turning and turning in the widening, The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, A blood-dimmed tide, and everywhere; The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man,A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about itReel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty (one) centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
