The Bringer

I feel that I'm on another planet
The hunter is on the prowl, he's got his eye on me
Silence I tread because he's tracking me down
Awake in my bed and no sneaking around

I see culture disappear before me
The gathering of the few who will be torn apart
Foolish the heart that will succumb, just to last
Broken the dream, when all this does come to pass

The jackal is king down here
Although he's the great pretender
The jackal will smile and leer
A message of bad news

He is the bringer, he is the bringer
He is the bringer, he is the bringer
He is the bringer, he is the bringer
He is the bringer, he is the bringer

A new change has been swept abroad
A new face for us all
My questions shall be ignored
And too soon, will we fall?

I hear someone talk that does confound me
On carrion he will feed, strip clean your warm desire
Dreadful the sight, to witness carnage, revealed
Hungry the jaws that once lay darkly concealed
