"Terminus" lyrics - SKYCLAD

(Terminus, terminus, terminus, terminus)
[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

(Terminus, terminus, terminus, terminus)

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 vapor
By the fires of Terminus!
