Locusts

Lyrics for Locusts

In the ether an ominous sound An intemperate wave Locusts engulfing the field An insatiable plague Emblazoned in emblems of navy and gray Perched on the horizon As they swallow the sun Made bold with a canting eye And the warmth of a gun Gilded in armor of navy and gray Malevolent swarm Ravenous storm Cold and pious, they push from the sky No contrition there, as they circle the field Stifling the sun with wicked hands Everything undone with vicious plans Hand of the shield Suppressing the field Hand of the shield Smothering the field Hand of the shield Suppressing the field Hand of the shield Smothering the field
