Iced Earth

I can see clearly now
A painful vision indeed
An attempt at genocide
Twelve thousand years of pain
The human thirst for dominance
Leads them to Setian ground
The gravest of all threats now exists
All galaxies could suffer
Imagine the consequences
If man does succeed
The universe and all that lives
Will suffer evermore
Like a virus man will spread
Through the time continuum
Its a power they cant comprehend
A power we must secure
So heed my word
A prophecy thats bleak and haunting
Acceptance not fear
Will pave the way for life returning
The elder foreseen
In sacred flames our world is burning
Yet more things are clear
By grand design, punishment unfolding
Faith in the prophecy
Well take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy
Something wicked feeds, thy will be done
Ten thousand souls
One for every year of framing
One of thirteen the high priest
And the twelve that council
Charged with our tome
Retribution for our loved ones suffering
In secret theyll meet
A global network that endures for centuries
Faith in the prophecy
Well take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy
Something wicked feeds, thy will be done
