Machine Head - Locust lyrics
rate meSweet caress
Grazes my skin
Its loveless
These hooks sink in
Behind an angels disguise
An insect preys
Mandibles cut like a knife
The reckoning
[pre-chorus]
Forming clouds
Their shadows shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending
[Chorus]
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 sacred
Strings pull the marionettes
See how they dance
Upon the wings that beget
Our prestilence
[pre-chorus]
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending
[Chorus]
Down, they come
The swarm of locust
Skies above converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust
Bleeding from my eyes
This plague is send to erase us
Bleeding from inside
These vermin can't infiltrate us
Faith appears and holds a candle
Hark angels sing
[pre-chorus/interlude 3]
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Tear the veil
The lies derail
Purity ever will prevail
Trumpets sound
The shattered crown
Halos of truth they now surround
The charade comes down
[Chorus]
Down, they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above conforms and choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locusts
Down, they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above conforms and choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locusts
