Something Wicked (Pt. 1) - Iced Earth

I can see clearly now

A painful vision indeed

An attempt at genocide 12 000 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

Like a virus Man will spread

Through the time continuum

It's a power they can't comprehend

A power we must secure

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 ones 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
