Something Wicked Part 1

Jon Schaffer

I can see clearly now
A painful vision indeed
(A painful vision indeed)
An attempt at genocide
Twelve thousand years of pain
(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 consequence if man does succeed
The universe and all that lives will suffer evermore
(Lives will suffer)
Like a virus man will spread
Through the time continuum
(Through the time continuum)
It's a power they can't comprehend
A power we must secure
Yeaw!
Aw!

So heed my word
A prophecy that's bleak and haunting
Acceptance not fear
Will pave the wave 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
We'll 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 one's suffering
In secret, they'll meet
A global network that endures for centuries

Faith in the prophecy
We'll take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy
Something wicked feeds, thy will be done
