Lyrics

[Intro:] 'megeddo's gateway.'
Hunter of the silent darkness--
Mighty steel leviathan
Rise from your nocturnal vigil--
'Davey jones' the time has come
Send spitting fires and roaring thunder--instigate poseidon's wrath
Unleash the terrors of the deep uncertain of the aftermath
Attack is the best form of defense--fingers on a keyboard play
When genocide's a numbered sequence death is but a breath away
I. I hear sirens screaming--
C. see lightning rip the sky
B. be afraid my darling--
M. embrace me as we die
Dark clouds gather (tensions mounting)--current tides are making waves
They navigate a sea of tears--above them storms in tea-cups rage
Only jonah 'neath the ocean witnesses the damage done
But can't turn back the hands of time--none can unload a smoking gun
I. I hear sirens screaming--
C. see lightning rip the sky
B. be afraid my darling--
M. embrace me as we die
The lords of fleet street speculate--as noble statesmen mediate
They tread on thin ice cracked by hate--one slip could spell disaster
We gave you power to decide--but now you gamble with our lives
We've all been taken for a ride--next stop the hereafter
These implements of science-friction--
Are the pawns of power play
By splitting hairs and splitting atoms--
They'll kill us all the 'new-clear' way
Entice us through megeddo's gateway on this final exodus
As flesh is turned to ash and vapour by the fires of 'terminus.'
