Vacant, psychopathic
Life must take life
In the interest of life itself
Primitive, endurable
The one to inherit the earth
Will not be men
They swarm the earth
The legion of flies and insects
Long before the traces of man
They swarm the earth
The legion of flies and insects
Unnoticed and unloved they learn of life:
To inherit and dispearse
They breed
By millions underneath
A harvest colony
The insects of disease
Set free
A swarm of mastery
One thing in mind – to feed
This ancient tyranny
No face to smile with
Or portray what hides beneath
Like a mask without expression to maintain
Formed by hunger and the instinct to survive
The first one to apprear
Will be the last one to remain
They swarm the earth
The legion of flies and insects
Long before the traces of man
They swarm the earth
The legion of flies and insects
Unnoticed and unloved they learn of life:
To inherit and dispearse
Distinctive need for expansion
Nurtured by the winds of heavens above
Like a cloud contain this virus
Infecting by the numbers
The entire face of the globe
In the wake of earthquake and flood
Will rivers run red of human blood
And man itself will be extinct
While insects crawl with vile instincts
Hunger, survival, the meaning of life
A war eternal as the earth was created
Not by the gentle caress of love
But by the brutal violence of rape
