The swarm has gathered

And the sun can’t find the Earth

All creatures scatter

With children taken first

The taste is sweeter

Than our innocence is worth

The lives consumed

Now feeding the perverse

It is innate within creation, we find

That dominance is granted to those who would provide

We seek the common ground between those still alive

And what would bring about the kingdom of our design

The clouds have broken and we’ve flooded the sky

A sea of pestilence governed by one mind

From these undeveloped bones the sun has dried

They’ll build the temples that shelter the divine

Without a struggle

Nor ears to hear their prayers

They give themselves

To fears that they all share

Without a struggle

Nor reason left to care

They’d rid themselves

Of what life they still bear

Without a question

Nor intention to resist

They give themselvesThey cease to exist

Without a question

Nor anything to give

They’d rid themselves

To a sky now eclipsed

The swarm has gathered

And the world is growing frail

It’s of no matter

When all it feeds has failed

Its blood is sweeter

Than its hostility entails

A world consumed

Yet our hunger prevails

It is the place of our own race, as we know

To cut away the rot until we’re left alone

We seek the common ground between the life we’ve known

And all that we must change in order to take our throne

Without a struggle

Nor ears to hear their prayers

They give themselves

To fears that they all share

Without a struggle

Nor reason left to care

They’d rid themselves

Of what life they still bear

Without a question

Nor intention to resist

They give themselves

They cease to exist

Without a question

Nor anything to give

They’d rid themselves

To a sky now eclipsed

The swarm has gathered

About the end of time

Where nothing matters

Where nothing’s still alive
