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
