Locust

Locust - Machine Head Lyrics

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 reckoningForming clouds, their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
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
Surrender
These veins are bled
Devoured
Nothing sacredStrings pull the marionettes
See how they dance
Upon the wings that beget
Our pestilence
Forming clouds, their shadow shrouds
Louder, the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
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
Bleeding from my eyesThis plague is sent to erase us
Bleeding from insideThese vermin can't infiltrate us
Faith appears and holds a candle
Hark the angels sing
Forming clouds, their shadow shrouds
Louder, the tattered wings they sound
Tear the veil, the lies derailPurity ever will prevail
Trumpets sound the shattered crown
Halos of truth now they surround
The charade comes downDown 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
